Profile
My research focuses on developing new models and novel optimization based methods for problems from practice in the field of transportation, logistics and scheduling. The optimization methods I develop use elements from integer linear programming, stochastic programming, metaheuristics, problem based heuristics, cutting planes and simulation. I study both the practical and theoretical nature of the real-life problems I consider. Sometimes real-life problems give rise to a new type of optimization problem which has not been discussed in the literature. This gives the possibility to study the structure and characteristics of this problem, but also the opportunity to develop novel solution methods. My research topics include operating room planning, ambulance planning, and efficient use of automated vehicles.
