Hi, I am Collin Drent.

I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Management in the School of Industrial Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology. My research focuses on optimal personalized decision-making under uncertainty. I leverage tools from operations research, statistics, and machine learning, with applications in condition-based maintenance and healthcare operations.  My research has won several awards, such as the Van Zwet Award and the Beta Award. I serve on the board of the Dutch OR Society. 

I received my PhD in Applied Mathematics from Eindhoven University of Technology in 2022, where I was fortunate to be advised by Stella Kapodistria, Onno Boxma and Geert-Jan van Houtum. 

I am always open to new collaborations. You can reach me at: c.drent at tue dot nl
