Operations research with a medical focus

The Medical Operations Research Laboratory (morLAB) is dedicated to improving the quality of medical procedures using operations research techniques. We specifically focus on very large-scale optimization problems that can benefit from modern computing techniques not yet commonly found in the optimization world. The morLAB is based in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and is directed by Professor Dionne M. Aleman.
