Petra Heijnen

Petra Heijnen studied Applied Mathematics at Delft University of Technology. From 1994 to 1998 she did a four year PhD-research in coding theory at the faculty Applied Mathematics at the Eindhoven University of Technology. In 1998 she worked as a research member at the National Institute Statistics Netherlands. Since 1999 she is working at the faculty Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology, first as a project member of the E.E.T.-project Batch Processes: Cleaner and more efficient. Since 2002, she works at the faculty as an assistant professor in the Energy & Industry group. Her research interests are graph theory, optimization and applied statistics in the design and analysis of energy and industrial infrastructures.
