Research Interests:

The focus of my research is on problems in resource management. In the past my work concentrated on a class of problems called location-allocation problems. New methodologies, as well as state-of- the-art algorithms, were developed for a large class of these problems. Industrial applications include those involving layouts (ex. plant floor, circuit component), data analysis (ex. clustering, classification), and facility location-allocation (ex. warehousing, distribution, communications).

One long term objective is to provide robust, general purpose tools for handling problems with application in areas of transportation engineering, facility location, network design, and traffic assignment. Another current activity involves the integration of operations research techniques and Graphical Information Systems. One goal is to develop decision support tools for analyzing operational strategies in situations where limited resources must be assigned on a demand basis according to varying criteria.
