Subject: ISR Faculty Colloquium: Using Operations Research to Improve Planning for Public Health Emergencies
When: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Where: AV Williams 1146
Event Type(s) : Colloquium
The Institute for Systems Research presents a colloquium the first Wednesday of each month, featuring the research of one of our faculty members. In March, Jeffrey Herrmann (Mechanical Engineering and ISR) will describe operations research models his team has created to help public health officials plan their responses to emergencies where mass vaccinations or medication distribution is needed. Herrmann has constructed novel queueing network approximations and implemented them in a planning tool. His solutions are being tested and implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Montgomery County, Md., public health officials.
