Education

• Naval Postgraduate School

  MS, Operations Research

  Operational research applies problem-solving techniques and methods in the pursuit of improved decision-making and efficiency such as simulation, mathematical optimization, queueing theory and other stochastic-process models, Markov decision processes, econometric methods, data envelopment analysis, neural networks, expert systems, decision analysis, and the analytic hierarchy process. Nearly all applications involve the construction of mathematical models that attempt to describe a system.

• The Johns Hopkins University

  MS, Biomedical Engineering

  Bioengineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It advances fundamental concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems levels; and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health.
