Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Verbraeck is a Full Professor of Systems and Simulation at Delft University of Technology with over two decades of experience designing large-scale, distributed discrete-event simulations and data-driven real-time analysis tools. He blends deep mathematical and computer science training with hands-on Java programming (since age 16) to build generic, object-oriented simulation libraries used in transportation, logistics, safety, and security domains. His work spans interactive simulation and serious gaming — from the Global Supply Chain Game to training tools for Dutch police and ProRail — translating complex operational problems into immersive decision-support environments. Known for combining GRID-based and distributed approaches, he pursues practical open-source building blocks that scale to nation-wide transport and multimodal logistics challenges.
