Mission

    The Laboratory has four major goals.
  • To foster research activities in the area of Applied Probability and Data Analytics
  • To provide opportunities and facilitate
  • its members to apply for research projects and to work together
  • To foster collaboration between the Lab members and the industry to demonstrate how this applied science can contribute to higher efficiencies
  • To enhance the learning and teaching of these subjects

Application areas we work on

Our work involves modeling business and industry systems that function in the presence of uncertainly, in order to provide practical scalable algorithms that make possible the efficient operation of such systems
