معرفی
Dr. David Woodruff is a Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean for Faculty and Research at UC Davis's Graduate School of Management. His research addresses computational aspects of optimal decision-making under uncertainty.
His work develops algorithms for multistage stochastic programming, optimization methods for supply chain resilience, and data-driven approaches for uncertainty quantification. Key contributions include projective hedging algorithms, importance sampling techniques, and parallel optimization frameworks.
Recent publications focus on catastrophe insurance modeling, bootstrap methods for stochastic programming, and parallel hub-and-spoke systems for large-scale scenario optimization. His Pyomo optimization software won the INFORMS Computing Society Prize (2019).
Honors include:
- R&D 100 Award (2016)
- INFORMS Computing Society Prize (2019)
- Best Paper Award in Computational Management Science (2011)
Dr. Woodruff teaches Data Analysis for Managers and advises doctoral students in operations research. He leads Department of Energy projects on power grid optimization under renewable energy uncertainty and develops computational tools for forest fire management planning.
