Colleagues 

Dr. Nazanin Morshedlou (Tajik)

Nazanin obtained her Ph.D. in industrial and systems engineering at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, where she focused on developing optimization models and heuristic algorithms for restoration crew routing in complex infrastructure networks. Now, Nazanin is an assistant professor in the department of industrial and systems engineering at Mississippi State University. As an assistant professor, her work focuses on three research thrusts: (i) dynamic damage assessment of infrastructure network using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), (ii) a dynamic crew routing for infrastructure network restoration under incomplete information, and (iii) the applications of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) in the emergency response processes.

Jessica  Franco

Jessica was born in Caracas Venezuela in September 1994. She received her bachelor's degree in Production Engineering from Universidad Metropolitana on June 2012.  She joined our research group in Fall 2019 as a graduate research assistant. Her focus is on developing mathematical models to mitigate disruption propagation in road networks after disasters. She is using reinforcement learning techniques to optimize the recovery process for disrupted road networks.
