معرفی
Richard J. Boucherie is a Full Professor at the University of Twente, affiliated with the Digital Society Institute, TechMed Centre, and the Department of Mathematics of Operations Research. His work integrates operations research, stochastic modeling, and queueing theory to optimize complex systems in healthcare, transportation, and logistics.
Research Interests: Prof. Boucherie's expertise spans:
- Healthcare Logistics: Bed census forecasting, patient flow optimization, and clinical scheduling
- Stochastic Systems: Queueing networks, Markov decision processes, and distributionally robust optimization
- Applied AI: Reinforcement learning, data mining, and predictive analytics for service systems
Publication Trends: His recent articles (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on pandemic-responsive healthcare optimization, including dynamic bed allocation, laboratory workflow design, and fairness in resource distribution during crises. Methodologically, they advance stochastic programming, queueing theory, and Bayesian inference for clinical applications.
Awards & Honors:
- Canadian OR Society Practice Prize (2012)
- ORTEC Excellence in Advanced Planning Award (2012)
Academic Leadership: He has supervised 37 research projects and contributes to institutional initiatives through the TechMed Centre (health innovation) and Digital Society Institute (data-driven solutions).
