Jamol J. Pender is an Assistant Professor in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University, joining in July 2015. His research focuses on queueing theory, applied probability, Markov processes, and their applications in healthcare, transportation, and financial engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton University (2013), and B.S.E. and M.S.E. in Electrical and Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (2008). Prior to Cornell, he was a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University's Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research.
His research explores complex systems through stochastic modeling, including topics like dynamic queueing networks, abandonment behaviors, and bifurcation analysis. Notable contributions include advancements in Gaussian skewness approximations and Gram-Charlier expansions for queueing systems. Pender has been recognized with awards such as the INFORMS Telecommunications Best Paper Honorable Mention (2016) and the Patrice Y. Johnson Award (2013).
His work intersects interdisciplinary fields, addressing real-world challenges in healthcare logistics, transportation efficiency, and financial systems. Recent projects include modeling shopper interactions to mitigate virus spread in retail environments, demonstrating applications of queueing theory in public health.
