Prof. Dr. Katja Specht serves as Vice President for Studies and Teaching at the Technical University of Central Hesse, affiliated with the Department of Business Administration and Economics in Friedberg. She teaches core courses including Statistics, Operations Research, Logistics, and Logistics Management across Bachelor and Master programs in Wirtschaftsinformatik (Business Informatics), employing a blend of theoretical lectures and group exercises delivered through mandatory Moodle platforms.
Her research spans Logistics, Operations Research, and Statistics with strong applications in financial mathematics, evidenced by her extensive publication record. Key areas include volatility modeling using GARCH frameworks, portfolio optimization under risk constraints (VaR, Mean-Variance), time series forecasting, and advanced statistical methods like the Moore-Penrose inverse. Her work bridges theoretical econometrics with practical financial engineering problems.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on quantitative financial methods, with increasing interdisciplinary connections to educational research (e.g., student evaluation demographics) and mathematical applications in engineering. The majority combine rigorous statistical modeling with real-world economic data, particularly in European financial markets.
