C.P.M. van Hoesel

Prof C.P.M. van Hoesel is a Professor of Operations Research at Maastricht University's School of Business and Economics, affiliated with the QE Operations research group within the Quantitative Economics department. His research focuses on optimization algorithms, logistics systems, transportation networks, and mathematical programming applications in operations research. Recent work addresses order picking optimization in warehouses, service network design under uncertainty, and routing problems using TSP extensions.

Publications span topics from warehouse inventory routing to synchromodal transport pricing strategies, reflecting expertise in both theoretical and applied operations research. Collaborations include work with researchers like Christof Defryn and Faezeh Rajabighamchi on algorithmic solutions for complex logistical challenges. His methodologies combine exact mathematical models with heuristic approaches to solve real-world optimization problems.

Key contributions include integer programming applications for disaster risk reduction (e.g., dike height optimization) and robust graph coloring algorithms. Research consistently bridges academic rigor with practical industry applications in logistics, transportation, and supply chain management.
