Experience

Airlines Resource Optimization. Analyst for simulation and optimization analyses to evaluate existing and proposed airport terminal design. Projects include:

Airport Resource & Capacity Optimization – Developed high-level simulation models to conduct capacity analyses in the areas of runway, check-in and security screening and to assess proper levels of staffing.

Baggage Handling System – Developed simulation models to analysis baggage handling systems, including conveyors, inputs, bag-staging and in-line baggage screening processes. Projects include:

 

Transportation Systems. Analyst for optimization analyses to evaluate existing and proposed transportation systems. Projects include:

Evaluation of Resource Allocation Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Co. Developed a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve unmanned aerial vehicle problems that minimize travel distances.

Ship-Scheduling with Limited RiskVehicle Scheduling Problems. Developed a branch-and-cut-and-price method to limit risk or variance of transportation and logistics problems that are often formulated as set-packing (or set-partitioning) problems.

Decision Support Systems – Systems and Algorithms Development. Developed optimization-based decision support systems, e.g.,

·        Decision Support System for Tramp Ship Scheduling

·        Fish-Map Information System

·        Electronic Chart Plotter System
