Rie Huntington

Rie Huntington is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh under the advisement of Dr. Bo Zeng. Before joining the program, Rie was an undergraduate in the department.  Previously, he worked as a Process Improvement Consultant at UPMC Children's Hospital and with the Global Digital Transformation and Data Analytics Group at Westinghouse. This summer, Rie is researching with the Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His research interests lie in developing bilevel optimization models under uncertainty and computational algorithms to address challenges in transportation, power systems, and healthcare.
