dr. W. (Ward) Romeijnders

Ward Romeijnders is associate professor within the department of Operations at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen. His research is focused on stochastic mixed-integer optimization problems, a class of problems that can be used to support decision making under uncertainty for a wide range of applications in, e.g., engeneering, logistics, energy, and finance.

In 2011 Ward Romeijnders completed both the master programme Econometrics, Operations Research & Actuarial Studies and the Research Master (summa cum laude) at the University of Groningen. In 2015 he was awarded his PhD (cum laude) at the same university. His PhD project was funded by an NWO Talent Grant, titled "Approximating mixed-integer recourse models by modifying the recourse data", which also allowed him to spend a semester at the University of Texas at Austin in 2013.

As of 1 September 2015, Ward Romeijnders has been appointed as assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen. In 2017 he received a prestigious NWO VENI grant for his project "Planning for the unknown. Towards optimal decisions under uncertainty". Since January 2020 he is associate professor.
