About me

Welcome to my homepage! I am a mathematician with a broad interest in applied and computational mathematics. My research is situated in Queueing Theory (a.k.a. The mathematics of queues). I am a proud member of the SMACS Research Group at Ghent University.

In May 2022 I obtained a PhD in Mathematical Engineering at Ghent University, under supervision of em. prof. dr. ir. Herwig Bruneel, prof. dr. ir. Joris Walraevens and prof. dr. Dieter Fiems. An electronic version of my dissertation can be found here.

Publications

I am first author and principal investigator of the following four publications :

  • A. Devos, J. Walraevens, T. Phung-Duc and H. Bruneel, Analysis of the queue lengths in a priority retrial queue with constant retrial policy, Journal of Industrial & Management Optimization, 2020, vol. 16, no. 6, pp. 2813-2842;

Talks

I try to attend one conference a year (that is relevant to queueing theory). I presented my research at four international conferences :

  • 13th International Conference on Queueing Theory and Network Applications, Tsukuba (Japan), 2018-07-25. Received the best Student Paper Award.
  • 14th International Conference on Queueing Theory and Network Applications, Ghent (Belgium), 2019-08-27.
  • 31st European Conference on Operational Research, online event, 2021-07-13.
  • 32st European Conference on Operational Research, Helsinki (Finland), 2022-07-06.
  • 15th EAI International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools, online event, 2022-11-16.
