I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente (NL) within the Faculty of Behavioural, Management, and Social Sciences. I hold a PhD in Management and Economics from Ruhr University Bochum and spent my postdoc time at Municipal Hospital Solingen (GER) and University of Exeter Medical School (UK). Subsequently, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Wuppertal (GER).
My research focuses on improving healthcare by supporting complex planning decisions and evaluating their impact on management, patients, staff, and the wider society. I apply optimisation and simulation models as well as interactive combinations of both.
I have developed novel operating room planning approaches and analysed the impact of pathway redesign in Emergency Departments. Other projects investigate ambulance location and reorganising a network of volunteer fire stations. My research is published in high-ranking journals such as European Journal of Operational Research, Annals of Operations Research, Health Care Management Science, and Operations Research for Health Care.
I am an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Exeter Medical School (UK) and hold an Associate Research Fellowship with the Higher Education Academy (UK). I also serve as the IFORS Representative of the German Society for Operations Research. I am also Area Editor for the Health Systems Journal and member of the Editorial Board of Operations Research for Health Care.
