Researcher Researched and bouquet for Hans Zwart Placed on 18 December 2025
On the 4th of December, the Education Committee celebrated Hans Zwart and his work and dedication to students through a Research Researched in his honour. During this activity, we walked with Hans through many of the aspects of his carreer: from his PhD and view of research prizes to his view and approach to education and how he catered to students. Finally, Hans was celebrated one last time by receiving a bouquet of flowers for all his efforts towards students.
As his time at the UT is coming to an end, we want to thank Hans on behalf of the many students he has inspired for his kindness, enthusiasm and genuine interest in the students' well-being. Thank you, Hans!
Hans Zwart will be back to hold his public farewell speech on March 27.

We analyze processes, use data to uncover insights, and design smarter ways of working, for example in planning, supply chain coordination, and operational decision-making. Just as important, we work closely with the people on the shop floor and in management to ensure that improvements are not just ideas on paper, but actually implemented in daily practice.
