Nico Dellaert

Nico Dellaert is an Associate Professor and Chair of Quantitative Analysis of Stochastic Models for Logistic Design in the department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research has always been related to quantitative modeling of business processes. Finding the appropriate model for a specific process is key in this research. Topics are varying from the design of sewer systems, insurance claim behaviour, container terminal planning to production-inventory control, transportation planning and health care operations planning.  

Currently, the prime research interests are on the integration of capacity and production decisions, on city logistics and multimodal transportation and on healthcare planning. In his work he uses a large variety of mathematical modeling techniques. In most cases, companies or hospitals have been involved in the research. Nico has been teaching various courses related to inventory control, goods flow control, health care logistics, system dynamics and to the design of operations planning and control systems. 

If there isn’t a mathematical model available for your problem, I’ll develop one
