A BRIEF STATEMENT ABOUT MY WORK

My work focuses mostly on optimization of systems when there is uncertainty involved. It includes:

  • Theory and algorithms for stochastic optimization, particularly using Monte Carlo methods.
  • Applications of stochastic optimization, especially to inventory management and production systems.
  • Simulation methodology (especially estimation of derivatives and probability of rare events in stochastic systems).
