About Me
I apply Operations Research methods to planning problems in healthcare with a special focus on demand and capacity planning as well as appointment planning. My primary used methods are (Stochastic) Integer Linear Programming, Queueing Theory, Simulation, Approximate Dynamic Programming, and Reinforcement Learning.
