Christoph Werner Simul8.JPG

Christoph Werner

Occupational title:

Senior Simulation Consultant

Research interests: I have delivered numerous simulation projects globally in many different application areas, ranging from the automotive, defence, food/beverage and energy industries to healthcare and other service sectors. Before becoming a practitioner, I have completed my MSc and PhD in Operational Research at the University of Strathclyde, UK. I am still interested and active in the research area of simulation modelling and, in particular, common modelling challenges around uncertainty quantification, e.g., with scarce data and in the area of probabilistic dependence modelling. Furthermore, I am generally interested in applying different OR techniques for a wide range of problems.

Keywords: Decision Support Systems; Practice of OR; Simulation; Statistics
