Filip Van den Bossche serves as Professor and Vice Dean of Education and Students at the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of KU Leuven, where he is affiliated with the Department of Decision Sciences and Information Management and the Operations Research and Statistics Research Group (ORSTAT). He also holds membership in the KU Leuven Institute for Mobility and has been a visiting professor at IÉSEG School of Management in Lille, France since 2016. His administrative leadership extends to the FEB Council, Board, International Mobility and Admissions Committee, and multiple university education committees.
His research expertise spans applied econometrics, time series analysis, and composite indicator methodology, with primary applications in road safety and transportation policy. He has developed macroscopic safety models, uncertainty assessment frameworks for safety indices, and evaluation tools for road safety campaigns. His work also addresses market efficiency in finance through adaptive markets hypothesis testing and robust CSR investment screening, alongside healthcare logistics optimization for organ transplant systems. Teaching responsibilities include Statistics for Data Science, Predictive Business Analytics, and time series forecasting courses.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent methodological focus on econometric modeling and time series analysis applied across transportation safety, financial markets, and healthcare logistics. The research demonstrates evolution from foundational road safety modeling toward interdisciplinary applications in sustainable development goals and pandemic response evaluation, with growing emphasis on composite indicators and uncertainty quantification. Cross-cutting themes include policy evaluation, optimization under constraints, and translation of quantitative methods to real-world decision support.
As an educational leader, Van den Bossche has directed multiple academic programs since 2012 and currently oversees FEB's educational strategy as Vice Dean. His current sabbatical project (2025-2026) focuses on time series analysis for Sustainable Development Goals. He actively contributes to ORSTAT's research on operations research applications and the KU Leuven Institute for Mobility's interdisciplinary transportation studies, fostering collaborations between business, economics, and public policy domains.
