Yousef Maknoon
Associate Professor in the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management at TU Delft. His research develops methodological approaches to decision-making, combining operations research, behavioural modelling and data-driven methods, with applications in transport, logistics and supply chains. Before joining TU Delft, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Transport and Mobility Laboratory at EPFL and a postdoctoral fellow at Polytechnique Montréal–CIRRELT. He obtained his Master's and PhD in Industrial Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal.
Projects
ActiveClimate adaptation is often assessed by asking whether a measure works under current conditions. CLIMACT asks when it works, for whom, and for how long.
ActiveSupply chains are increasingly designed under constraints that do not stay fixed. ReSolVe asks when a supply chain configuration remains viable as these conditions evolve, and when redesign becomes necessary.
ActiveCycling-based delivery systems increasingly rely on algorithmic dispatch and routing, yet how riders actually respond to these decisions remains poorly understood.
CompletedUrban delivery systems are often designed from the operator's perspective, while rider behaviour, customer preferences, and limited urban space are treated as external conditions.
CompletedOn-demand logistics is often planned using aggregate demand forecasts, even though operational decisions are made at the level of individual customers, orders, and locations.
Logistics planning and traffic management traditionally treat the same road network from different perspectives. FTMaaS asked what becomes possible when information from these two systems is used jointly rather than separately.
