Research

My research interests are in Integer linear programming, algorithmic graph theory, robust optimization, (telecommunication) network planning, optimization of energy networks, optimization in health care, ... (more)

Our group organized INOC 2022, 1-4 March 2022 in Aachen.

Recently, I am/was a member of the program committee of

• EURO 2022, 3-6 July 2022 in Espoo, Finland.
• ISMP 2024, Summer 2024 in Montreal, Canada.

I chaired the 2020 Dissertation Award committee of INFORMS Section on Telecommunications and Network Analytics

I coordinated the BMBF-Project ROBUKOM

I am/was

• Editor of Annals of Operations Research (2019-),
• Associate Editor of INFORMS Journal on Computing (2011-)
• Associate Editor of Networks (2023-)
• Associate Editor of Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research (2011-2022).

I was guest editor for

• EURO Journal on Computational Optimization, special issue on robust combinatorial optimization (together with Michael Poss)
• EURO Journal on Computational Optimization, special issue on computational discrete optimization (together with Clemens Thielen)
• Networks, special issue in the ocassion of INOC 2022 (together with Christina Büsing and Luis Gouveia)

Teaching

Optimization B, Calculus, Linear Algebra, ... (more)

PhD courses: Clemson 2017, Uppsala 2018
