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…
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…
Optimal Control to Handle Variations in Biomass Feedstock Characteristics and Reactor In-Feed Rate
Fikri Kucuksayacigil, Mohammad Roni, Sandra D. Eksioglu +1
The variations in feedstock characteristics such as moisture and particle size distribution lead to an inconsistent flow of feedstock from the biomass pre-processing system to the…
