Research interests/Areas of expertise

• Application of optimization models and methods in material management and mathematical programming algorithms for discrimination and classification
  

Bio(s)

• Professor Rubin holds an M.S. in Statistics and Ph.D. in Mathematics from Michigan State University. His research focuses primarily on applied optimization. His publications have appeared in Annals of Operations Research, Decision Sciences, Naval Research Logistics, and the European Journal of Operational Research, as well as other journals. Professor Rubin is particularly interested in applying mathematical programming models to business problems. His current work includes the design of algorithms to help managers classify people or objects into groups (for instance, good/bad credit risks). He was co-recipient, in 1989, of the Scholarly Achievement Award given by the Human Resources Division of the Academy of Management, and recipient of the Broad School's Richard J. Lewis Quality of Excellence Award in 2000. He is a member of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, an ad hoc reviewer for the European Journal of Operational Research and several other journals, and a former associate editor of Decision Sciences.
