Research Description

Lizhi Wang’s research interest is operations research, and extends to the inter-disciplines of mathematical programming, statistics, economics, and game theory. He has been applying operations research methodologies in projects on electric power systems, where many decisions need to be made under uncertainty. He is interested in working on real world projects where mathematical modeling can be used to help make better decisions on protecting the environment and increasing people’s quality of life.
