FACULTY RESEARCH / CONCENTRATIONS

The Stewart School offers great breadth and depth in terms of faculty interest areas and concentrations which, in turn, produces substantial flexibility for graduate students in terms of course offerings and importantly, research opportunities that support their respective degree choices. This is captured by the links below.

Logistics

The activities associated with the study of problems in contemporary logistics constitute one of the more major thrusts in the graduate education and research efforts in the ISyE. Representative of the latter is a host of projects. A partial list includes global supply chain design under uncertainty, airline crew scheduling, fleet sizing and allocation, hierarchical production planning, hub location in distribution networks, carpet recycling logistics, airline revenue management, storage algorithms for containerized cargo ports, warehousing systems design, vendor managed re-supply strategies, transportation, and relay network design.

Many of these research activities are supported by The Supply Chain & Logistics Institute (SCL) or the Keck Virtual Factory Lab (VFL) in partnership with the National Science Foundation, industry, and other government agencies. It is important to note that graduate students and faculty in the Stewart School bring a variety of interests, research tastes, and methodological backgrounds to the field of logistics. Against this backdrop, the common theme is an appreciation that the important problems in logistics are very hard but also, if treated effectively, can lead to substantial dividends in those settings where the problems proliferate.

Master's students interested in logistics are typically attracted to one of three degree options at the master's level: Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (first track), Master of Science in Operations Research, or the Executive Master of Science in International Logistics. Ph.D. students will want to go to: Supply Chain Engineering.
