Professor Christine Currie is a Professor of Operational Research within the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. She is a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute and previously served as Director of the Centre for Operational Research, Management Science and Information Systems (CORMSIS). Her research is primarily funded by EPSRC and spans healthcare, disaster relief, and pricing optimisation.
Research Interests:
- Simulation Optimisation
- Healthcare Management
- Decision Making Under Uncertainty
- Disaster Relief Logistics
- Optimal Pricing and Revenue Management
Her recent work focuses on real-time simulation for emergency departments, infectious disease modelling, patient flow optimisation, food relief procurement in Indonesia, and robust pricing models in transportation and leisure sectors. The trend in her publications shows a strong emphasis on applied operational research with societal impact, particularly in digital twin integration and stochastic optimisation under uncertainty.
Scientific Awards:
