معرفی
Eugene A. Feinberg is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Stony Brook University. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics (Probability and Statistics) from Vilnius University, Lithuania in 1979. Prior to joining Stony Brook University, Dr. Feinberg held research and faculty positions at Moscow State University of Railway Transportation (1976-1988) and a visiting faculty position at Yale University (1988-89). He has also spent two one-semester sabbatical leaves at MIT.
Dr. Feinberg's primary research focuses on stochastic methods of operations research, with particular expertise in Markov decision processes and their industrial applications. His work has significantly contributed to the theory and practice of operations research in telecommunication, manufacturing, transportation, service systems, and electric energy applications. Since 1999, he has been actively working on electric energy applications, including optimizing electric energy transmission and forecasting energy demand.
His extensive publication record includes over 150 papers and the edited Handbook on Markov Decision Processes. His research has evolved to encompass increasingly sophisticated mathematical frameworks for Markov decision processes while maintaining strong connections to practical applications in energy systems, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Recent work demonstrates a continued focus on theoretical foundations of MDPs with emerging applications in healthcare and inventory management.
- Honorary Doctorate from the Institute of Applied System Analysis, National Technical University of Ukraine
- Fellow of INFORMS (2011) for fundamental contributions to Markov decision processes and dynamic programming
- IEEE Charles Hirsh Award (2012) for developing electric load forecasting methods and smart grid technologies
- IBM Faculty Award (2012)
Dr. Feinberg's research has been consistently supported by major funding agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Naval Research (ONR), New York Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR), and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), as well as industry partners. He serves on editorial boards for prestigious journals including Mathematics of Operations Research, Operations Research Letters, and Applied Mathematics Letters, reflecting his standing in the academic community.
