Our institute congratulates Julian Golak on his successful completion of his doctoral studies.

On 16 November Julian Golak defended his PhD thesis entitled "Optimisation on Waterways" under supervision of Prof. Dr. Alexander Grigoriev and Dr. Christof Defryn. In his research, he focuses on problems that practitioners in inland-waterway transportation are currently facing. The real-world problems are reduced to mathematical formulation and solved algorithmically. Each algorithm is supported by insights derived from theoretical analysis and numerical experiments on real-world data.

Dr. Golak now continues his research as a postdoc at our institute.
