Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering researchers are using the HPC to solve optimization models and build predictive models for systems arising in numerous applications, including transportation and logistics, manufacturing, homeland security, healthcare, and reliability.  Because these problems can be very difficult to solve, our research examines not only how to apply these models in practice, but how to improve existing mathematical and computational methodologies for solving these problems.
