Johann L. Hurink received the Ph.D. degree from University of OsnabrĆ¼ck (Germany) in 1992 for a thesis on a scheduling problem occurring in the area of public transport. From 1992 until 1998 he has been an assistant professor at the same university working on local search methods and complex scheduling problems. This work resulted in a Habilitation thesis at the University of OsnabrĆ¼ck in 1999.From 1998 until 2009 he has been an assistant and associated professor in the group Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Programming at the department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente.

Since 2009 he is a full professor of the same group and since 2020 also the Director of the 4TU Applied Mathematics Institute (AMI). He has published more than 190 refereed papers in international journals and conferences and has been involved in many European and national research projects. Current research mainly focusses on optimization and control problems for energy management and smart grids.
