Research and Publications
Motivated by problems facing industry, my research builds, solves, and applies mathematical optimization models, to provide insight and to support managerial decision making in supply chains and service networks.
My research uses many approaches within the mathematical optimization paradigm including mathematical programming, particularly discrete optimization and polyhedral methods, stochastic dynamic programming, queuing theory, and game theory to model and solve large-scale, practical decision problems.
