Pauline Hanssen (P.W.J.)

Pauline Hanssen is a PhD Candidate in Mathematical Economics whose research lies at the intersection of game theory, microeconomics, and collective decision making. In her first project, she studies reallocation problems with single-peaked preferences and their connection to the core.

She obtained both her BSc and MSc in Econometrics and Operations Research from the School of Business and Economics at Maastricht University. During her bachelor’s studies, she developed a strong interest in mathematical economics, which led her to concentrate primarily on courses in this field throughout her master’s program.

In addition to her research, she works as a tutor, teaching Microeconomics (BSc Econometrics and Operations Research) and Management of Operations and Product Development (BSc International Business program). 

Since 2026, she organises the MLSE seminar series in Maastricht, aimed to bring the Department of Quantitative Economics together with the Department of Microeconomics and Public Economics.
