MSCI 535 Optimization (MRes - part of STOR-i)
MSCI 574 Logistics (which includes MSCI 544) (MSc in logistics and Supply Chain)
I am particularly focussed on how uncertainty affects optimal solutions in stochastic integer programs. Just now I am working on stochastic network design and facility layout.
I am also starting to look into energy problems, partly by creating contacts with UK companies and organizations, partly by re-establishing Norwegian ties.
Decision-making under uncertainty
- Stochastic programming
- Stochastic network design
- The art of modelling
- Multi-item newsvendor models with dependencies
- Energy modelling
I am strongly involved in STOR-i, our EPSRC funded Doctoral Training Centre, and The LANCS Initiative, a major EPSRC programme to strengthen OR in the UK.
