Loe Schlicher

I am a tenured Assistant Professor in the School of Industrial Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. I received my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from the same university in 2017. My research interests include game theory and stochastic optimization, especially  in the context of homeland security and defense applications. 

I am a recipient of  an early-career Veni-grant award (€250.000) from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research. Currently, I am a work package leader of the EU funded project ROLIAC (€510.000).
