Research interests

In my research in the fields of mobility and circular economy, I am primarily concerned with the use of quantitative methods to support decision-making. Current research projects focus on the integrated planning of fleet, charging and energy infrastructure to achieve an ecological and economic operation as well as the development of approaches for the management of closed-loop supply chains that make use of digitization and industry 4.0 technologies of an information platform.
