My Master’s Research

o   The work at the National University of Singapore dealt with minimizing the cost in a joint location-inventory model with a single upper-level supplier supplying to multiple capacitated distribution centers which in turn supplies to multiple retailers with varying demands. We consider both capacity levels and service levels of the warehouses. We use the real-coded adaptive genetic algorithm to solve this maximization problem. (This work was under the supervision of Prof. Chew Ek Peng and Prof. Lee Loo Hay).

o   My work for the Master of Engineering at the University of Virginia was a project in health systems engineering. Specifically, we analyzed ways to increase translational research in medical research. We looked at how to increase collaboration between basic science researchers, researchers conducting clinical trials and practitioners, thereby increasing research in areas that require attention as well as ways to take the results from clinical trials to implementation in medical practice. This requires a feedback loop from end-users to basic science researchers. This project allowed me to see how systems engineering and systems analysis can be useful to medical research and design of health systems. (This work was under the supervision of Prof. Michael Smith).
