Research
My research has focused on the mathematical modeling of problems in homeland
security to improve both the security and operational efficiency of the
system. I have developed probabilistic models to evaluate the
effectiveness of security policies, to question or justify the allocation of
financial resources to certain security measures, and to determine reasonable
heuristics for the efficient allocation of servers to queues in the context of
airport security checkpoints.
I have also conducted research with the RAND Corporation as a summer associate (Jun-Aug
2004), examining the feasibility of screening options for shipping containers
at US ports.
My broader interests are in using operations research for
problems in the public interest, such as health, education, environment and
public safety.
