Associated Faculty
Optimization and operations research utilizes advanced analytical approaches and numerical optimization to solve sophisticated business and public policy problems.
Research in this area extends to complex systems such as data centers, air transportation, and large-scale networks. Faculty employ stochastic processes and distributionally robust optimization to drive efficiency and resilience in infrastructure, energy, and healthcare delivery. Faculty also explore bilevel optimization, stochastic multi-stage programming, and game-theoretic modeling, while integrating numerical optimization with Bayesian statistical methods to support strategic engineering and decision-making across challenging operational environments.
Earn your MS in Operations with a concentration in Optimization (OPT) to prepare for research and professional practice in the formulation, analysis, and computer implementation of mathematical models.
