Wolfram Wiesemann, Professor of Professor of Analytics & Operations at Imperial College Business School, will head up the Department of Analytics, Marketing & Operations from September.
Professor Wiesemann serves on the editorial board of several journals, including Manufacturing & Service Operations Management and Operations Research.

He has received funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the UK Cabinet Office, Imperial Business Analytics, the Imperial College Research Fellowship scheme and various industrial collaborators.
His recent research on elective care prioritization in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has been featured in the Daily Mail, Financial Times and on France24.
