My research focuses on Operations Research (OR) for integrated logistics and energy systems. In OR, we aim to provide organizations with mathematically grounded support for informed decision-making. Logistics systems are one of the traditional powerhouses of operations research. It concerns planning and control for the efficient movement of goods throughout supply chains. As the world electrifies freight fleets and transitions to a net-zero (hydrogen) economy, every logistics decision— vehicle routing, inventory, facility location—now carries energy-system and sustainability consequences.  Grid operators must schedule crews and materials for time-critical net congestion reinforcement projects; carriers must route battery-electric trucks while charging availability is limited due to net congestion; fuel suppliers must design entirely new green hydrogen transport distribution topologies. Thus, the planning and control of logistics systems nowadays have energy system consequences and should therefore be addressed integrally. This requires new mathematical models and methods that consider logistics, energy, and sustainability constraints jointly.

I am currently acting as an advisor of the following PhD students:
- Sifanur Celik (Service-Oriented Vehicle Routing under Uncertainty)

- Bartu Arslan (Fulfillment and Replenishment in Omnichannel Retail)

- Arya Zamal (Emerging Logistics in Megacities)

- Miguel Chastre (Cyclic Inventory control and transport)

- Casper Bazelmans (Algorithms for Road Transport Decision Support )

- Neslihan Cevik (Algorithms for Road Transport Decision Support )

- Gerben Ouwersloot (Multi-Stakeholder Hydrogen Network Design}

- Ling Li (Integrated Energy and Logistics Management for Electric Freight Transport) 

I am an Associate Professor of integrated logistics and energy systems at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I obtained my Bsc and Msc (2015, cum laude) and PhD (2020) in Operations Research from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands.  I was a visiting researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Loyola University Chicago, and HEC Montreal. My research is internationally recognized and has led to publications in (amongst others) Transportation Science, Operations Research and Transportation Research part B.
