معرفی
Prof. Dr. Natalia Kliewer is a Professor of Business Informatics at the Free University of Berlin, where she leads the Professorship for Business Information Systems within the Department of Business Informatics in the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. She has been serving in this position since 2009, following a Junior Professorship at the University of Paderborn from 2005-2009.
- Free University of Berlin (2009-present): Professor of Business Informatics
- University of Paderborn (2005-2009): Junior Professorship for Business Informatics and Operations Research
- Doctorate from University of Paderborn (2005)
- Studies in Information Systems at Kirgisischen Technischen Universität and Business Informatics at Münster and Paderborn (until 2000)
Prof. Kliewer's research focuses on optimization in transport and traffic systems, with particular expertise in robust planning approaches, delay management, and airline revenue management. Her work bridges business informatics with practical transportation challenges, developing algorithms and decision support systems that enhance efficiency in public and air transportation networks. She has made significant contributions to integrated vehicle and crew scheduling, timetabling, and resource deployment planning that can withstand disruptions and uncertainties in real-world operations.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward addressing sustainability challenges in transportation, particularly through the integration of e-mobility solutions in public transport systems. Her research increasingly combines traditional operations research methods with data-driven approaches, including machine learning for travel time prediction and robust schedule generation. The work spans multiple transportation modes including buses, trains, and aircraft, with a consistent focus on developing integrated optimization approaches that consider multiple planning stages simultaneously.
- Member of the Advisory Board of the German Society for Operations Research (since 2013)
- Mentored students receiving prestigious awards including the GOR Bachelor Prize (Felix Becker)
Prof. Kliewer has supervised numerous doctoral students including Dr. Lucas Mertens and Dr. Max Gerlach, and has advised multiple bachelor's and master's theses. Her research is supported by significant grants from the German Research Foundation (DFG), including multiple projects on robust efficiency in resource deployment plans for air transport and public transportation. She leads the BERLIN MOBILITY DATA HUB initiative and has secured funding for projects on e-mobility infrastructure planning and smart mobility solutions.
She leads a research team that includes doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and student assistants working on various aspects of transportation optimization. Her group collaborates closely with transportation operators and industry partners to ensure practical relevance of their research. Current projects focus on AI-enhanced hybrid optimization for personnel scheduling, robust planning in public transport, and blockchain applications for secure documentation in aviation maintenance.
