Hans-Werner Graf

Hans-Werner Graf serves as Professor of Business Information Systems, especially Supply Chain Management at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences since the winter semester of 2013/2014, teaching core courses in business informatics and logistics disciplines.

Education:

• Computer Science degree from Dortmund
• Doctorate on Transportation Networks (Fraunhofer IML)

Research focuses on optimization-driven logistics systems with emphasis on distribution networks, freight operations, and computational planning methodologies. His work bridges theoretical business informatics frameworks with practical supply chain applications.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on logistics informatics, with recent work exploring computational approaches to distribution challenges and network optimization in freight systems.

Thesis supervision covers critical logistics domains:

• Logistics and Distribution Systems
• Tour and Route Optimization
• Fleet Management
• Business Informatics Applications

Students must submit thesis proposals one semester in advance due to capacity constraints.
