Research

The research of Bert Zwart is in applied probability and stochastic networks. Using probabilistic techniques such as laws of large numbers, central limit theorems, and large deviations, his research offers important qualitative insights and design rules for models that appear in call centers, computer-communications networks, and manufacturing systems. More recently, he also became involved in revenue management and dynamic pricing.
