Tracking time-varying parameters using gradient-based filters
Many quantities we care about in economics and finance change continuously and cannot be observed directly.
Scenario generation for optimisation under uncertainty
Many situations can arise in which a decision needs to be taken under uncertainty.
Optimising kidney paired donation in the presence of uncertainty
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease
New compact formulations for routing problems
Designing routes for vehicles is an important task in many logistical processes, such as parcel delivery, store resupply, public transport and waste collection.
Models and Algorithms for Railway Rolling Stock (Re)Scheduling
With millions of passenger train trips each day, railway networks play a big role in the mobility systems of many countries.
Mapping Hidden Networks of Economic Risk
A financial shock in one country can spread to others through channels that researchers cannot directly observe
Machine Learning and Econometric Methods for Global Equity Return Predictability
My research lies at the intersection of empirical asset pricing, econometrics, and machine learning.
Integrating Timetabling and Crew Scheduling at NS
Given a timetable, it might not be possible to create a feasible crew schedule in which all tasks are covered in times of crew shortage.
High-Dimensional Financial Econometrics
This research project lies at the intersection of econometrics and machine learning.
Heterogeneity in Panel Data Econometrics
Modern datasets often contain data about many individuals over time.
