Sherwin Doroudi

Assistant Professor, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering

Research

Doroudi's research focuses on modeling and analyzing resource management problems in stochastic environments. In particular, he is interested in the analysis of large-scale Markov chains arising from queueing-theoretic models. He has worked on problems with applications to call center staffing, online service pricing, power management, and computer security.
