Education
- Master of Econometrics from the University of Groningen (1987)
- PhD in
Operations Research from Maastricht University (1992)
Curriculum Vitae
Research Interests
Operations research, especially combinatorial optimization problems and
applications thereof. Within this field I am particularly interested in:
- various scheduling and clustering problems (especially sport scheduling),
and
- (multi index) assignment and transportation problems, and
- practical combinatorial auctions, and
- computational revealed preference.
