About

Dr. Katharina Glock is a leading researcher in operations research, specializing in routing and path planning problems with a focus on spatial coverage. Her most-cited work, "Spatial coverage in routing and path planning problems" (2022, 27 citations), addresses a critical gap in logistics and transportation: how to efficiently serve nodes not directly visited by a vehicle. This contribution has significant implications for real-world applications like drone delivery, waste collection, and disaster response, where coverage efficiency is paramount. Dr. Glock’s research bridges theoretical optimization and practical deployment, offering novel models that account for coverage constraints in dynamic environments. Her work is widely recognized for its clarity and impact, attracting attention from both academia and industry. By redefining how spatial coverage is integrated into path planning, she has opened new avenues for sustainable and cost-effective logistics. Dr. Glock continues to advance the field, inspiring students and researchers to rethink traditional routing paradigms.
