Linus Schrage received his Ph.d. in Operations Research from Cornell University.

Currently a Professor of Production and Operations Management at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago, he has been a professor or visiting professor at Stanford University, Pontificia Universidade Catolica of Rio de Janeiro, UCLA, and Universite Catholique de Louvain of Belgium.

After developing the LINDO linear programming software package in 1977, he founded LINDO Systems, Inc. in 1980. He was a key player in the development of the GINO software package for nonlinear programming in 1983, as well as, the spreadsheet optimizer that lead to the widely used What'sBest! spreadsheet optimizer in 1984. Today, he continues to assist in the development of the LINDO, LINGO, and What'sBest! software products.
