معرفی
David B. Brown is the Snow Family Business Distinguished Professor in Decision Sciences and Faculty Director of the Center for Energy, Development and Global Environment (EDGE) at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. He holds a Ph.D. from MIT (2006). His research focuses on algorithm design for decision problems under uncertainty, with applications in energy systems, sustainability, and stochastic modeling. Key contributions include dynamic resource allocation frameworks, stochastic dynamic programming relaxations, and robust optimization techniques.
Professor Brown leads the GRACE project (funded by the Department of Energy, 2020–2025), exploring risk-aware grid management for clean energy systems. His work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications in energy transition, climate mitigation, and mathematical optimization. He has received recognition including the Snow Family Distinguished Professorship (2024).
Recent publications emphasize dynamic frameworks for integrated energy systems, fluid policies in resource allocation, and sequential decision-making under uncertainty. His research also addresses pricing strategies in shared resource networks and asymptotic optimization techniques.
