Pediatric vaccine tender scheduling in low- and middle-income countries
Nicholas Uhorchak, Ruben A. Proano, Sandra Eksioglu +2
Effective and efficient scheduling of vaccine distribution can significantly impact vaccine uptake, which is critical to controlling the spread of infectious diseases. Ineffective…
A Two Stage Stochastic Optimization Model for Port Infrastructure Planning
Sanjeev Bhurtyal, Sarah Hernandez, Sandra Eksioglu +1
This paper investigates inland port infrastructure investment planning under uncertain commodity demand conditions. A two-stage stochastic optimization is developed to model the im…
Designing Drone Delivery Networks for Vaccine Supply Chain: A Case Study of Niger
Maximilian Kolter, Sandra D. Eksioglu, Sarah Nurre Pinkley +1
The focus of this research is to evaluate the use of drones for the delivery of pediatric vaccines in remote areas of low income and low and middle income countries. Delivering vac…
An Analysis of COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in the U.S. at the County Level
Hieu Bui, Sandra Eksioglu, Ruben Proano +1
Reluctance or refusal to get vaccinated, referred to as vaccine hesitancy (VH), has hindered the efforts of COVID-19 vaccination campaigns. It is important to understand what facto…
A Multi-stage Stochastic Programming Model for Adaptive Biomass Processing Operation under Uncertainty
Berkay Gulcan, Yongjia Song, Sandra D. Eksioglu
Variations of physical and chemical characteristics of biomass reduce equipment utilization and increase operational costs of biomass processing. Biomass processing facilities use…
Stochastic Process Optimization of an Integrated Biorefinery
Dahui Liu, Sandra Eksioglu, Mohammad Roni
Planning of biorefinery operations is complicated by the stochastic nature of physical and chemical characteristics of biomass feedstock, such as, moisture level and carbohydrate c…
