Hi! I'm Arnaud, a postdoctoral researcher working at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University. I am a member of the research group Stochastic Modeling and Analysis of Communication Systems (SMACS).
My area of specialisation is queueing theory, which is the scientific study of queueing phenomena. Since the input and output variables of a queue are typically of random rather than deterministic, queueing theory mainly relies on the tools of probability theory. Beyond the theoretical perspective, I am also interested in real-world applications of queueing systems — a central topic in operations research — including everyday situations such as managing queues at public restrooms and reducing road traffic congestion.
My core activities include research, teaching, and supervising. To see a list of my scientific publications, click here. To view a summary of my teaching experience, click here (summary in Dutch). To see my experience in supervising students, click here.
If you are a student interested in doing a master's thesis on topics such as queueing theory, feel free to contact me via my institutional email at
