Research

Sponsored by NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, MDA, and FAA, Dr. Chen has worked on the development of very efficient methodology for stochastic simulation optimization and its applications to air transportation system, semiconductor manufacturing, healthcare, security network, power grids, and missile defense system. Dr. Chen is the inventor of the novel simulation idea, called Optimal Computing Budget Allocation (OCBA), which can dramatically improve simulation efficiency by orders of magnitude. For a list of his funded projects and publications, please click the Full CV.

 

Book:

Dr. Chen is the author of the book “Stochastic Simulation Optimization: An Optimal Computing Budget Allocation”.  This book gives a comprehensive and extensive coverage on this efficient simulation optimization methodology, from basic idea, formal development, to the state-of-art. The book can be ordered at Amazon.com.
