I am a full professor in Business Administration/ Logistics Management at HSU Hamburg.
At the moment, I am researching hard combinatorial planning problems with applications in timetabling and scheduling. In this context, I am particularly interested in (i) multi-criteria issues, (ii) planning under uncertainty and dynamics (also robust planning), and (iii) interactive methods and decision support systems.
Applications: A visual example is found in the area of employee rostering, where members of staff have to be assigned to shifts such that some optimization function is minimized.
Another important application is the single machine total weighted tardiness problem, a notoriously difficult planning problem, for which we formulated new challenging benchmark instances.
More work is dedicated towards the development of planning approaches for rich vehicle routing problems.
