Leif Sörensen is a researcher at the University of Hildesheim , affiliated with the Institute of Business Administration and Business Informatics within the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics and Computer Science . His work focuses on operations research and digital transformation in public transport systems, particularly examining flexible transport models, agent-based simulations, and geoinformation system integration. Core Affiliations Researcher (since 2023) - HAWK Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst, Holzminden Doctoral Researcher - Institute of Business Administration and Business Informatics, University of Hildesheim Former Student Assistant - TU Dresden and Max Planck Institute for Self-Organization Research Focus: Sörensen's research bridges transport policy , agent-based modeling , and data analytics . He investigates how digital transformation can enhance rural mobility through flexible public transport systems , with emphasis on contractual incentives for drivers and stochastic behavior prediction . His work spans both developed and developing economies , particularly analyzing informal transit systems in South Africa. Publication Trends: Recent articles demonstrate a strong focus on operations research in transport contexts, with 7/9 publications involving agent-based simulations and DRT (Demand-Responsive Transport) . Keywords cluster around urban mobility , digital transformation , and transport resilience , while sub-fields reveal expertise in dynamic routing algorithms , passenger acceptance metrics , and GIS-integrated transport planning . Key Projects Co-author on European Commission-funded transport safety modeling Participant in Smart Hybrid research initiative (44 co-publications) Contributor to International Transportation Economics Association conferences Academic Background: Holds degrees in International Economics (University of Göttingen) and International Business and Development (University of Bayreuth).
