Dr George Stamatescu

Senior Research Fellow (C)

School of Chemical Engineering

College of Engineering and Information Technology


I am interested in the problems of operations research and sequential decision making broadly, both theoretical and applied to real-world problems. I have experience in complex systems and mathematical techniques that enable analytical studies of systems. I am currently working on problems of workforce planning for large, complex projects over long horizons.
