In the field of Mathematics for Business and Economics, the focus lies on the optimization of stochastic dynamic systems, in particular via Markov decision processes using approximate dynamic programming. Applications can be from any area of operations management, but our main interests are revenue management and sports. For more information, please have a look on the following website:
