M. Sc. Miriam Stumpe successfully passed her doctoral examination on April 10, 2025, as part of her dissertation titled “Optimization Approaches for Sustainable Public Transportation.” The dissertation was supervised and reviewed by Prof. Dr. Guido Schryen, Prof. Dr. Natalia Kliewer (Freie Universität Berlin), and Prof. Dr. Kevin Tierney (University of Bielefeld).
The cumulative dissertation focuses on how planning problems in the field of sustainable public transportation can be solved using mathematical optimization methods. Ms. Stumpe specifically concentrates on two areas of application: the deployment of battery electric buses (BEB) and on-demand ridesharing (ODR) – topics of global societal relevance for urban mobility and its sustainable development.
We warmly congratulate Miriam on this tremendous achievement!
We are delighted that she will remain part of our team and the university, and will now contribute her expertise at the SICP (Software Innovation Campus Paderborn) in the NeMo.bil project. We wish her all the very best for her future work and personal endeavors!
