Operations Research & Supply Chain Management
Associate Professor
UAntwerpen Business School - Faculty of Business and Economics · Antwerp, Belgium
Welcome to my academic homepage. I am a professor specializing in operations research and supply chain management. My research focuses on [optimization, stochastic modeling, logistics networks], bridging rigorous theory with real-world operational decisions.
About me
I am a Professor of [Your Title] at [Your University], where I have been a faculty member since [Year]. My research sits at the intersection of operations research, optimization, and supply chain management, with a focus on developing models and algorithms that support better decision-making in complex operational environments.
My current work explores [your main themes — e.g., stochastic inventory optimization, resilient supply network design, last-mile logistics]. I collaborate with industry partners and researchers across multiple countries, and I am currently leading [mention active projects or grants].
Before joining [University], I held positions at [Previous Affiliation 1] and [Previous Affiliation 2]. I received my Ph.D. from [Doctoral Institution] in [Year], under the supervision of [Advisor Name].
I serve on the editorial boards of [Journal 1] and [Journal 2], and am an active member of [INFORMS / POMS / EURO / your society].
