Bart Vermeulen (Brugge, 1981) behaalde in 2003 het diploma van licentiaat Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen (major: theoretische en kwantitatieve economie) aan de Universiteit Antwerpen RUCA. Na een korte loopbaan op de Studiedienst van de Confederatie Bouw vervoegde hij het departement 'Operations Research and Business Statistics' van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Hij slaagde in 2006 met succes voor het doctorale programma dat hij volgde aan het departement van toegepaste economische wetenschappen aan de K.U.Leuven. In januari 2009 rondde hij zijn doctoraatsthesis (Design issues in conjoint analysis for market and non-market valuation) succesvol af. Van 2009 tot 2011 was hij werkzaam als econoom bij de FOD Economie, Algemene Dienst Mededinging en deeltijds verbonden aan de K.U.Leuven, Faculteit Economie en Bedrijfswetenschappen. Vanaf januari 2011 is hij actief als Chief Economist bij pharma.be.
