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.
