Leveraging machine learning to solve The vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) has been widely studied in the Operations Research (OR) literature given its increasingly widespread applications, ranging from school bus scheduling to packages delivery. ...
Financing Fusion Energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
The case for investing in fusion energy—increasing global energy demand, high annual carbon dioxide output, and technological limitations for wind and solar power—has never been greater, yet financing for fusion companies ...
Air Force Crew Scheduling: An Integer Optimization Approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Air Force flight, training, and crew scheduling is a labor-intensive and largely manual process across all flying squadrons. Complex training requirements and dependencies, operational constraints, numerous qualifications, ...
An EM algorithm for Lidar deconvolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Airborne Lidar is a range sensing method which is effective in determining ground terrain from a distance. However, the return signal we observe is a noisy, convolved distortion of the ground return. Deconvolution is one ...
School choice : a discrete optimization approach
