RESEARCH INTEREST
My research interests include large-scale optimization and decision analysis, stochastic networks and simulation modeling, and artificial intelligence and machine learning, with applications to smart and sustainable systems. I am particularly interested in improving the resilience of large-scale transportation and supply chain or logistics systems, developing emergency management planning under uncertainty, and designing sustainable systems that matter to society.
