ECE332: INFORMATION, CONTROL AND GAMES Supported in part by National Science Foundation under grant ECS-0323685 " EPNES: Robustness, Efficiency, and Security of Electric Power Grids in a Market Environment. "
Education:
- B.S., Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, 1973
- M.S., Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977
- Ph.D., Applied Mathematics, Harvard University, 1980
Research Interests:
- Planning, scheduling, and coordination of design, manufacturing and service activities, schedule and bid optimization and load/price forecasting for power systems, decisionmaking under uncertain, fuzzy, or distributed environments, mathematical optimization for large-scale systems, engineering and socio-economic applications.
- Over the past decade, we have been working on manufacturing systems research. Collaborating extensively with industry, our Laboratory developed a near-optimal and computationally efficient approach for the planning, scheduling, and coordination of design, manufacturing, and service activities to improve on-time delivery performance and inventory measures. Our Manufacturing Systems Laboratory extends to the facilities of Cannondale bicycles, Toshiba gas-insulate switchgears, Sikorsky helicopters, Pratt & Whitney engines, Delta engine/generator components, J. M. Products, etc., for developing advanced planning and scheduling methodologies. Current efforts include condition-based maintenance, inventory management, 6-sigma delivery, and supply chain coordination.
- We have also been working on power systems related research. Collaborating with Northeast Utilities, our Laboratory designed and implemented a near-optimal approach for unit commitment, economic dispatch, hydro-thermal coordination, and purchase and sale of power to minimize the total electricity generation cost. Working with Select Energy (a division of Northeast Utilities) and Southern California Edison, current efforts extend to the prediction of electricity load and prices, developing optimization-based auction methods and bidding strategies, and portfolio management.
