Dr. Sem Borst

Biography

Sem Borst is a Full Professor in Stochastic Operations Research in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He received his MSc degree in applied mathematics from the University of Twente in 1990 and his PhD degree from Tilburg University in 1994. In 1994, he served as a visiting scholar at the Statistical Laboratory of the University of Cambridge in England. He joined the Mathematics Networks and Systems research department of Bell Labs in Murray Hill, USA in 1995, where he holds a part-time affiliation alongside his position at TU/e. His primary research interests include performance evaluation and resource allocation algorithms for large-scale stochastic networks. Borst's work investigates how local behavior interactions influence the dynamics of large-scale stochastic networks, offering critical insights for the design of low-complexity resource allocation algorithms that function in a distributed manner to achieve near-optimal performance on a global network scale. He has published over 190 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, achieving an H-index of 39. Additionally, he has served on the editorial boards of several prestigious journals and participated in various program committees for conferences.
