Our laboratory conducts research in the following areas
- topological network design
- facility layout and location
- stochastic network design and analysis
- Steiner minimal Trees in 3-dimensions
- state dependent queueing network analysis and finite buffer queueing network models
Real world applications of our research include
- the design and layout of manufacturing plants, health care facilities, and many other production and service oriented systems
- analysis of routing in large transportation networks
- modeling and evaluation of building and vehicular evacuation in case of emergencies
