Ben’s research focuses on solving complex, real-world business problems by applying a variety of optimization techniques such as stochastic programming, simulation-optimization and math modeling. In addition to applied optimization, Ben’s research also explores how to apply complex adaptive systems theory, in conjunction with supply chain management tools, to help organizations collaborate across industry lines to address important societal issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Opioid crisis.
