RESEARCH PROFILE
Alp Akcay is an Associate Professor in the Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control (OPAC) group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research interests include statistical decision making under uncertainty, simulation design and analysis, and approximate dynamic programming with applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and supply chain management.
Most companies have a lot of data and it is critical for them to know how to use it. My work is on developing mathematical models to integrate real-world data with operational decision making.”
