Jan Stoklasa

Jan Stoklasa is a Full Professor in the Department of Business Studies at LUT Business School, LUT University, Lappeenranta, Finland. He also holds the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Economics at Palacký University, Olomouc, Czech Republic, since 2015. His research lies at the intersection of fuzzy logic, decision sciences, and behavioral economics.

His primary research interests include Fuzzy Logic, Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), Linguistic Modeling, Uncertainty in Evaluation, and Behavioral Operations Research. He investigates how human cognition, emotions, and risk attitudes influence expert and consumer decisions, particularly under uncertainty. His work integrates computational intelligence with practical applications in energy systems, supply chain management, and business analytics.

Recent publications (2023–2025) demonstrate a strong trend in developing advanced fuzzy-based decision support methods, including fuzzy TOPSIS with OWA operators, possibilistic pay-off methods for real options, and q-rung orthopair fuzzy models for crisis management. He also explores residential demand response behavior using agent-based modeling and causal maps for knowledge development assessment.

Scientific Awards and Recognition:
While specific awards are not listed in the text, his extensive publication record in top-tier journals such as Information Sciences, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, Applied Energy, and Expert Systems with Applications indicates significant recognition in his field. He actively serves as a peer reviewer for journals including Fuzzy Sets and Systems, Applied Soft Computing, and Journal of Business Research.

Advising and Grants:
Although no formal list of students is provided, his collaborative publications with multiple co-authors suggest active supervision and mentoring. He is likely involved in research grants related to energy systems, decision support, and cognitive modeling, given the applied nature of his work. His collaborations with researchers like Pasi Luukka and Mikael Collan indicate participation in funded projects.

Labs and Research Teams:
Jan Stoklasa is associated with research groups focusing on computational intelligence, decision support, and energy systems at LUT University. His work on fuzzy systems and cognitive maps suggests involvement with interdisciplinary teams bridging computer science, management, and behavioral sciences.
