Decision making to satisfy the basic human needs of health, food, and education is complex. We present an overview of two illustrative studies using data to inform decision making in health care delivery associated with sepsis and hunger relief. In the first study, we integrate electronic health record (EHR) data with clinical expertise to develop...

Wearable technology such as smartwatches has the potential to transform the management and control of infectious diseases. Smartwatches provide continuous data about an individual’s health (e.g., heart rate, sleep patterns,...

Cybermanufacturing enables the shared use of networked manufacturing infrastructure to deliver manufacturing resources on-demand while maximizing capacity utilization, reducing consumption of natural and material resources, and reducing costs to product design and manufacturing. This talk will highlight three areas where our group has contributed to the understanding of Cybermanufacturing systems – 1) With the explosive...

Human-centricity is one of the core values of Industry 5.0, motivated by several challenges encountered with Industry 4.0, including social and workforce heterogeneity. An increasing number of inexperienced users interacting with sophisticated technologies underscores the need for continuous and personalized interventions taking into account contextual factors and individual differences. Recent advances in wearable and physiological...

University environments are becoming more dynamic and diverse than ever before. The landscape in industrial engineering continues to change rapidly and students and faculty in the discipline are called upon to address a broader range of problems that impact our everyday lives. As a pivotal approach to embracing the challenges and the opportunities posed for...

In this paper, we propose a family of label recovery problems on weighted Euclidean random graphs. The vertices of a graph are embedded in R^d according to a Poisson point...
