Robert Freund
Theresa Seley Professor of Management Science
Professor of Operations Research
Robert Freund's research is in the area of large-scale mathematical models that optimize or improve the performance of management systems, such as personnel scheduling, capacity planning, transportation and routing, and portfolio selection. His practice-oriented research focuses on applying large mathematical models to complex management and engineering problems, while his more theory-oriented research concerns the underlying mathematical structure of optimization models in general.
Some of Freund's most recent studies have looked at real-time computer pattern recognition, cluster analysis in data mining and dynamic conjoint analysis for new product development …
