Jeffrey Linderoth
The United States Office of Naval Research has awarded Jeff Linderoth, David Gustafson Department Chair and Harvey D. Spangler Professor of industrial and systems engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a $416,547 grant to examine and improve the use of mathematical models in naval defense.
In the three-year project, Linderoth will apply several mathematical optimization tools to tactical decision-making against potential attacks. It fits within Linderoth’s research portfolio of using modeling to address relevant, large-scale optimization questions.
