Research Interests
Dynamic data-driven decision support systems for large-scale systems in applications such as manufacturing systems, healthcare, border security, and social networks. Specialization in methodologies such as distributed multi-paradigm simulation methodologies, AR/VR Technologies, Smart sensor network/integration for Human-Computer Systems, computationally efficient data analytics, and planning and control of dynamical systems, Sensor-based modeling and analysis of complex systems for process monitoring/control.
I have 3 years of industry experience with designing, developing, and analyzing large-scale system such in semiconductor industry. This included analyzing highly customized digital twin simulation generalizable across different factories across the globe.
Teaching Interests
Simulation & Modelling Analysis, Distributed Simulation Systems, IEOR Applications in Healthcare Systems, Manufacturing and other applications.
Open Positions
I am looking for motivated graduate and Undergraduate students interested in solving real-word application problems. Interested students can send me an email or stop by my office.
