Johannes Ponge

Johannes Ponge is a Researcher at the Chair of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management at the University of Münster, affiliated with the School of Business and Economics. He holds an M.Sc. in Business Informatics from the same institution. His research focuses on epidemiological modeling, agent-based simulation (ABM), and decision support systems for epidemic prevention. He has contributed to projects such as HosNetSim, a tool integrating epidemiological models with hospital resource management, and has explored parallelization strategies for large-scale simulations.

Education:

• Bachelor of Science in Information Systems (2011–2015)
• Master of Science in Information Systems (2015–2018) with a semester abroad at UNIST, South Korea

Research interests emphasize computational epidemiology, healthcare system optimization, and the application of agent-based models to public health challenges. His work bridges computer science and public health through innovations in simulation tools and scalable frameworks for disease intervention analysis.

He has supervised theses on topics like non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies, model validation in epidemic simulations, and parallelization techniques for agent-based systems. His projects are funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, including efforts to develop user-oriented simulation platforms for pathogen-specific epidemic modeling.
