Mirjam Meijer

Mirjam Meijer is Assistant Professor of Operations Management at Kühne Logistics University in Hamburg, Germany since June 2022, following a Visiting Scholar position at the same institution in 2021. Her academic foundation includes a PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology and master's/bachelor's degrees in Econometrics and Operations Research from Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Educational background:

• PhD in Operations Management and Logistics, Eindhoven University of Technology (2017-2022)
• Master of Science in Econometrics and Management Science, Erasmus University Rotterdam (2016-2017)
• Bachelor of Science in Econometrics and Operations Research, Erasmus University Rotterdam (2013-2016)
• Semester abroad, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (2015)
• Campus Scholarship Program, Fulbright Center (2012-2013)

Her research focuses on inventory control and supply chain optimization for high-tech manufacturers, utilizing stochastic optimization, game theory, and queueing theory to solve real-world coordination challenges. She specializes in single-sourcing dynamics and multi-generation product development cycles unique to semiconductor and electronics industries.

Recent publications reveal a methodological evolution toward applying extreme-value theory to large-scale assembly systems and developing innovative contract structures like contingent renewal mechanisms. These works bridge theoretical operations research with practical logistics constraints, particularly in optimizing capacity investments and mitigating component shortage risks.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Fulbright Scholarship (awarded for UCLA Anderson School of Management collaboration, cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic)

Meijer has supervised graduation projects in Industrial Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology and teaches stochastic operations management. Her conference presentations at INFORMS, MSOM, and International Symposium on Inventory Research demonstrate active engagement with the global operations research community. While specific grant details are unreported, her Fulbright award supported intended cross-institutional research.

Though lab affiliations aren't specified, her extensive collaborations with scholars like Willem van Jaarsveld, Ton de Kok, and Christopher S. Tang indicate participation in major supply chain research networks focused on high-tech manufacturing challenges.
