Practical military applications of timetabling, path planning, and time-varying networks for maximizing mission success and minimizing risk
This dissertation consists of three papers in various stages of publication. The first paper, "Optimal Course Scheduling for United States Air Force Academy Cadets" is currently in the final stage of review by the journal Interfaces. The paper presents a mixed integer program that considers faculty …

Models and Algorithms for Some Combinatorial Optimization Problems: University Course Timetabling, Facility Layout and Integrated Production-Distribution Scheduling
… The first problem that we address is the course timetabling problem encountered at Virginia Tech. The course timetabling problem for a university is a difficult problem and has been studied by many researchers over the years. As a result, a plethora of models and approaches have been reported in …
