Olga Heijmans-Kuryatnikova
Assistant Professor
Erasmus University Rotterdam, Econometric Institute
I am an assistant professor at the Econometric Institute of Erasmus University Rotterdam, working as a part of the Optimization group. In my research I develop solution approaches and approximation algorithms for non-linear optimization problems using convex programming. My work covers both theory and real-world applications. I usually deal with problems where optimization over networks is needed (for example, energy, water, and transport systems). I am also interested in applications from economics, statistics, and machine learning. Before joining academia, I worked in industry as a financial analyst.
