Research Focus & Motivations
  • Delayed availability of information / logistics, delayed decision-making lead to instability.
  • Delays are not necessarily destabilizing, if exploited properly they may recover stability.
  • Strong evidence in modeling supply chains using delay differential equations.
  • Decision-making delays of supply chain managers leads to stability of inventory dynamics.
  • Coordination of autonomous vehicles communicating under delays is a challenging stability and control problem.
  • Understanding dynamics of supply chains has direct impacts in understanding emergency response networks in civilian and military logistics.
 
Active research topics
  • System Level Approach to Supply Chain Management. Stability & Control of Inventory Dynamics. Cost Optimization in Supply Chains.
  • Coordination of multiple agents communicating with multiple delays.
  • Non-magnetic particle navigation using magnetically controlled ferrofluids.
