معرفی
Prof. Michael Schneider is Universitätsprofessor and Chair of Computational Logistics at RWTH Aachen University since 2016. Previously, he held positions at TU Darmstadt (2013-2016) and earned his doctoral degree from TU Kaiserslautern (2012). His research focuses on logistics optimization, including transportation routing, warehouse management, and metaheuristic methods for solving complex operational challenges. He leads the Global Challenges Lab and serves as communication chair of VeRoLog (EURO's vehicle routing group).
Research interests include: quantitative modeling for supply chains, heuristic/exact optimization methods, electric vehicle routing, territory design, and production planning. Notable achievements include the INFORMS Journal on Computing Meritorious Paper Award (2021) and editorial roles in journals like Applied Mathematical Modelling.
Publications span topics like vehicle routing with time windows, electric logistics networks, and warehouse automation strategies. His work integrates advanced algorithms with real-world industry applications (e.g., DHL, Picnic). The Computational Logistics group collaborates on projects addressing sustainability, autonomous systems, and modern warehousing challenges.
