Research Topics

Methodological spectrum

• System modeling: Simulation of (interdependent) market risks and complex systems
• Approaches from operations research to determine and optimize the robustness, stability and resilience of value chains and networks
• Behavioral modeling in complex systems: Contagion and cascade effects (e.g. scenarios for information cascades or panic phenomena)
• Expert interviews and socio-empirical analysis
• Vulnerability analysis for critical infrastructures (e.g. network goods, critical supply chains) and socio-technical systems
• Adaptation vs. damage cost analysis, e.g. of climate adaptation measures
