I am an assistant professor  at the School of Industrial Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology.  My research is tailored around integrating Artificial Intelligence for Optimization in Logistics. Here, I see logistics as *anything that moves within the context of operations and supply chain management*. I take both the perspective of logistics service providers, as well as the perspective from warehousing, manufacturing, production, and inventory control and the relation with optimization. 

I have three core areas of expertise:

• Stochastic Optimization.  Application-inspired development of new methods and theory.

• Emerging Applications of Logistics arising in sustainability, city logistics, renewable energy adoption, megacities

• Deep Reinforcement Learning. Adopting AI techniques to foster optimization.

I'm associated with the Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute, the Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems, and the European Supply Chain Forum.
