  • Research Interests
    My main research interest is operations research, which also extends to the inter-disciplines of mathematical programming, statistics, economics, and game theory. The following are the methodologies and applications that I have been, and plan to continue, working on:

    Methodology: Markov decision processes, stochastic programming, nonlinear programming, integer programming, probability/statistics, game theory, etc.

    Application: Economical, environmental, and social assessment of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, deregulated electricity markets, engineering sustainability, etc.
