About Vahid Eghbal Akhlaghi
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology, specifically within the Artificial Intelligence Institute for Advances in Optimization at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering. I hold a Ph.D. in Business Analytics from the University of Iowa, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Ann Campbell. My research has been dedicated to optimizing logistics, transportation, and scheduling, with a recent focus on supply chain rapid response during crises. With over nine years of experience in operations research and applied mathematics, I have built innovative models and solution algorithms for complex business applications. My work integrates operations research methodologies with tools like Gurobi and Python to solve integer programs, leveraging complexity and network theory for analytical results. In addition, my expertise in geographic information systems (GIS) aids in capturing and analyzing spatial data for disaster mitigation strategies.As part of my postdoctoral fellowship, I have had the privilege of collaborating with prominent organizations on cutting-edge research and projects that drive innovation in supply chain and logistics, employing a range of optimization techniques to expedite solutions for large-scale problems. This includes designing solution approaches that have significantly reduced operational costs and improved system sustainability.
