Personal Information

Since 2004 Jörg Rambau has led the chair of Business Mathematics at the University of Bayreuth. Before that, he worked as a scientific assistant from 1996 through 2004 at the Zuse Institute Berlin. After his diploma in mathematics at the University of Bochum from 1987 to 1993 he became a member of the research training group "Algorithmische Diskrete Mathematik" at Technical University of Berlin where he got his PhD. with Günter M. Ziegler in 1996. He finished his habilitation in 2002 with Martin Grötschel.

Competences

Jörg Rambau represents the whole range of Discrete Optimization in MODUS, in particular, mixed integer linear programming. Special attention is devoted to uncertain programming, dynamic optimization, and online optimization – that is, well-founded methods to deal with situations in which relevant data is not (yet) known completely at the time of optimization.

Projects

Jörg Rambau is member of the following MODUS projects:

ODip – Optimal Diplomacy (2010/01/01 – ), with methods from Discrete Optimization under Uncertainty (application partner: Philosophy)
MEIO – Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization (2012/05/06 – ), with methods from Stochastic Integer Linear Programming (application partner: Volkswagen AG, IBM)
CTN – Cooperative Truck Networks (2016/02/22 – ), with methods from Mixed Integer Linear Programming (application partner: I-LAN-project at FH Erfurt)
Robust Configuration of Production Plants, with methods from Stochastic Programming (application partner: wbk Institut für Produktionstechnik, KIT, Karlsruhe)
Finished:CHAMP – Control of Heat in Automated Model Production (2012/03/01 – 2015/02/28), with methods from Combinatorial Optimization (application partner: Concept Laser, Lichtenfels)
Finished: AZuR – An Assistant System for the Time Tabling and Room Assignment for University Courses (2010/03/01 – 2013/08/31), with methods from Mixed Integer Linear Programming (application partner: University of Bayreuth)
Finished:DISPO – A Decision Support System for the Integrated Size and Price Optimization (2007/11/01 – 2010/10/31), with methods from Stochastic Integer Linear Programming (application partner: NKD Vertriebs GmbH, Bindlach)
