About

Hajnalka Vaagen is Associate Professor at NTNU, with a scientific profile in decisions under uncertainty and operations risk management. She received her PhD in Quantitative Logistics from Molde University College in 2009. She has earlier held senior researcher position at SINTEF Technology and Society and SINTEF Industry, within the research group of applied economics, operations research and value chains. Vaagen is also a licensed engineer in the field of technology and chemistry of textiles, and has earlier held positions as a technical designer and has been an entrepreneur multiple times. 

Vaagen's main research interests are centered around two main challenges, both combining aspects of theory and industrial application. The first is focused on uncertainty management and flexibility in project-based production systems, with research into stochastic optimization-based approaches to project flexibility, lean and flexible project delivery, and the behavioral aspects of flexibility and innovation in project work. The second, mainly analytical research stream, has focus on portfolio and assortment optimization in design-based consumer goods industries. This also includes a stochastic optimization-based  demo-software to assess product ranking and the economy and risk of  assortments. In both contexts, design uncertainty has a documented high impact on planning and performance, and a large share of Vaagen's work is, therefore, summarised as design problems in operations risk management. 

Recent research initiatives of Vaagen bring in sustainability and circular economy focus (such as new technology-driven sustainable design and circular supply chains, and solving the marine/maritime plastic pollution problem).
