  • Apply decomposition methods as needed to solve very large-scale models.
  • Develop and implement scalable quantitative mathematical models and collaborate with engineers to deploy these models.
  • Perform quantitative, economic, and numerical analysis of the performance of these systems to find both exact and heuristic solution strategies for optimization problems.
  • Apply mathematical optimization techniques, including Linear Programming, Integer Programming, Dynamic Programming, Network Optimization algorithms to design optimal or near optimal solution methodologies to be used by in-house decision support tools and software.
  • Apply Machine Learning and regression techniques to tackle predictive modeling problems.
  • Create software prototypes to verify and validate the devised solutions methodologies.
  • Investigate the conflict behind infeasible datasets and add appropriate handling to resolve such infeasibilities.   
  • Establish processes for large-scale data analyses, model development, model validation and model implementation.
  • Develops complex models and algorithms that drive innovation throughout the organization.
  • Can objectively weigh trade-offs of different algorithms and models.
  • Guide data engineering efforts to ensure alignment with future optimization engine needs.
  • Performing quality assessments of analytical solutions, particularly simulation and optimization models.
