Research Topics

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
