Elise Miller-Hooks, PhD

For nearly three decades, I have been applying and advancing concepts of operations research to civil and infrastructure systems applications. What has motivated my research program is a strong desire to make a difference for society. My work with students and post-docs focuses on the development of algorithms and mathematically-based decision support tools for designing, operating, managing, maintaining, and protecting the built environment and the services they facilitate from hazards of natural, technological, accidental or malicious cause.
