Stochastic Disruptions

Rare events with random timing and magnitude.
Smaller-scale than a traditional multi-stage stochastic program.
Cutting-plane based decomposition algorithms still apply.

Educational Background/Employment:

Ph.D. (2019): Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL
B.S. (2014): Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
Employment:
- 2019.10 - Present: Postdoc at T-5/CNLS, Los Alamos National Laboratory
