Thomas Bryant Cassidey

PhD in Operations Management, the University of Alabama. My research focuses on helping businesses understand the consequences of uncertainty and risk as well as helping predict the efficacy of potential mitigation techniques. To that end, I create both stylized and practical mathematical models and develop novel solution methodologies and analyses. My research uses non-linear programming, linear programming, integer programming (including branch-and-price), and statistical modeling. I create useful models to make both strategic and online decisions, as well as behavioral models and experiments to investigate the potential effect of decision-makers on the ability of firms to make optimal choices.

Courses Taught:
Decision Science, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Quantitative Fundamentals for Analytics, Optimization for Analytics
