  • Improving behavioral decision making in operations and food safety management 
    Wang, Shujing, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    In Chapter 1, we design controlled laboratory experiments to investigate whether and how process-driven discussions may improve information sharing, information integration, and the resulting group performance in collective ...
  • Dynamic, data-driven decision-making in revenue management 
    Ma, Wei (Will Wei) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Motivated by applications in Revenue Management (RM), this thesis studies various problems in sequential decision-making and demand learning. In the first module, we consider a personalized RM setting, where items with ...
  • Optimization-simulation framework to optimize hospital bed allocation in academic medical centers 
    Vanden Berg, Andrew M (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Congestion, overcrowding, and increasing patient wait times are major challenges that many large, academic centers currently face. To address these challenges, hospitals must effectively utilize available beds through ...
  • Vignettes on robust combinatorial optimization 
    Udwani, Rajan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    In this thesis, we design and analyze algorithms for robust combinatorial optimization in various settings. First, we consider the problem of simultaneously maximizing multiple objectives, all monotone submodular, subject ...
  • Practical applications of large-scale stochastic control for learning and optimization 
    Gutin, Eli (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    This thesis explores a variety of techniques for large-scale stochastic control. These range from simple heuristics that are motivated by the problem structure and are amenable to analysis, to more general deep reinforcement ...
