Earl Barnes is a professor in ISyE. He received a B.S. in 1964 from Morgan State College and a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1968. Dr. Barnes joined IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in 1968 in the department of mathematical sciences and during his tenure with IBM, he also served as adjunct professor at Columbia University and Baruch Business College in New York. Dr. Barnes was also a visiting associate professor at the University of Wisconsin and a Vinton Hayes Fellow with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology prior to joining the faculty at Georgia Tech in 1988. In 1999, he was named the William Clayton Lecturer for the American Mathematical Society and Alumnus of the Year by Morgan State University.
Dr. Barnes' research interests are in numerical methods for solving optimization problems. In particular, he is interested in interior point methods for linear programming problems and in nonlinear approaches to certain combinatorial optimization problems. As the co-discoverer of the affine scaling algorithm, his work was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). His interests in logistics include optimizing portions of supply chains, and in particular, optimal job scheduling problems.
