Bio
Danial Davarnia joined the IMSE department at Iowa State University in fall 2018 as an assistant professor. Prior to this position, he was a post-doctoral fellow of Operations Research in Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his Ph.D. from University of Florida in Industrial and Systems Engineering. He obtained his M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, both from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. His research interests lie in deterministic and stochastic optimization, with applications in transportation and network interdiction. In particular, he develops solution methods and convex relaxations for mixed integer nonlinear programs. He investigates interconnections between logical inference and integer programming. He also studies parameter estimation techniques and statistical analysis of risk in stochastic optimization.
