CV

Ann-Kathrin Lange received her M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management from Clausthal University of Technology in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany, in 2013. After graduating, she joined the Institute of Maritime Logistics at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) as a research associate and later became chief engineer. Having successfully completed her doctorate on truck appointment systems for intra-port container transport, she now conducts research there on the digitalization of maritime logistics and port processes, using methods such as discrete-event simulation and optimization.
