Summary

Professor Shi's research has been in developing theory and methodology for design and optimization of complex systems such as supply chain networks, manufacturing systems and communication networks. Her interest in this area has spanned three levels: semantic modeling and design of systems, sensitivity analysis via discrete-event simulation, and control and optimization.
