Top Publication by Florentin Hildebrandt and Marlin Ulmer Released

The first publication in the top-tier journal Management Science (VHB rating "A+") by a member of our faculty, Prof. Franz Wirl, appeared in 1996. Just over 20 years later, in 2017, then-junior professor Sabrina Jeworrek achieved the second publication in this prestigious journal.

We are now proud to announce a third publication in Management Science!
Congratulations to Florentin Hildebrandt and Marlin Ulmer from the Chair of Management Science, as well as their co-authors A. Strauss and Ž. Lesjak, on their paper:
"Integrated Fleet and Demand Control for On-Demand Meal Delivery Platforms"

Prof. Ulmer explains:

“We analyze how the positioning of restaurants within delivery apps influences user choices, using extensive real-world transaction data. Based on these insights, we develop an integrated and dynamic approach to optimize both customer decision-making and fleet management. Methodologically, we apply techniques such as Transformer Reinforcement Learning—similar to those used in large language models (LLMs).”
