Dan Dahlberg in his office

Physics

Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy

Research Interests:

Professor Dahlberg's research interests are in the general area of fundamental statistical mechanics mostly using magnetic phenomena as the the model system.  For some of the research nano and mesoscale magnetic particles are utilized. The individual magnetic particles have four nonmagnetic leads attached (see Figure) for electrical transport to determine the direction of the magnetization using the anisotropic magnetoresistance. The fluctuations in the direction of the…

William L. Cooper headshot

Data Science Initiative

Professor, Industrial Systems & Engineering

Research Interests:

My research focuses on using operations research models to develop and analyze heuristic and optimal solution approaches for complex problems in pricing and revenue management. I seek to generate models, insights, and methods relevant to the operation of actual systems, and to maintain a high level of mathematical rigor in the analysis of the models themselves.

Recently, my work has focused on building and analyzing models to determine prices for products that exhibit network…
