In this episode of the podcast, we talk about Dr. Rahimian's broad interests in data-driven decision-making under uncertainty. Specifically, developing new models, theories, tools, and algorithms for problems with broad societal impact. We also discuss how he uses stochastic optimization to solve large-scale problems arising in the allocation of scarce resources such as water, medical equipment, and human resources.
