Dr. Kevin Wood is Associate Professor of Operations Research at the Naval Postgraduate School. His areas of interest include network models and optimization techniques, network and system reliability, and combinatorial optimization.
Dr. Wood earned his Ph.D. in operations research from the University of California, Berkeley, and his M.S. in operations research from Columbia University. He has developed efficient algorithms for computing reliability of power, water, and highway networks subject to earthquake hazards, as well as for computing network and system reliability in more general settings. Dr. Wood's current research efforts are directed to development and application of network optimization techniques to distribution and production planning models. |
