About

My primary research interest is in the area of operation research, specifically inventory control theory. New generations of marketing, manufacturing or production systems, aided by the global presence of the supply-chain infrastructure, are playing an increasingly important role in the society. Such increasing reach is making the demand for robust operation of such systems more stringent than ever. Failures or anomalies in these inventory systems can now have enormous cost and serious consequences on our business and economy.
Investigating the principles underlying the design and implementation of such robust and pervasive inventory control systems is the general goal of my research. How to build a reliable system using unreliable components and how local algorithms based on local knowledge can derive globally emergent system characteristics such as reliability, availability, efficient resource utilization and quality assurance, are the central questions that drive most of my research activities. Because real-world systems are complex, answering these questions requires careful design and implementation that attends the details of the real scenario. I also use theoretical analysis and simulation that allows exploration of design parameters in wider ranges and in isolation, and helps to understand the impact of each parameter on the observed behavior of the system.
