Research
My research centers on models and methods for decision making under uncertainty. The main methodology area is stochastic programming. Recent projects and papers are listed below under broad categories of computation, applications, and theory.
Computation
- Stochastic Programming (general information plus links to test problems, computational papers)
- Intelligent Unified Control of Unit Commitment and Generation Allocation
- Nonlinear Decomposition (paper in html)
- Current Trends in Stochastic Programming Computation (paper in postscript with figure in html/gif here)
Current Applications
- Power Systems - Unit Commitment
- Finance - Option Evaluation
- Finance - Asset/Liability Management
- Transportation - Vehicle Allocation
- Transportation - Airline Crew Scheduling
- Public Policy - Global CO2 Modeling
- Manufacturing - Scheduling
- Manufacturing - Capacity Planning
