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: Inverse optimization, Markov decision
processes, stochastic programming, nonlinear programming, integer
programming, probability/statistics, game theory, etc.
Application: Economic, environmental, and social
assessment of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, deregulated electricity
markets, engineering sustainability, etc.
