Research interests

In my research, I am involved in the planning and control of closed-loop supply chains with a focus on electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries in particular. In this context, I am interested in the economic and ecological impacts of end-of-life and the different possibilities to shape it. For this purpose, I use different approaches and methods of optimization and simulation.
