Jinwook Lee, PhD

Assistant Professor

Decision Sciences and MIS

Biography

Professor Dr. Lee has expertise in optimization and risk modeling for evaluation and quantification of uncertainty – the key factors in the decision making processes. Over the past couple of years his research has been focused on modeling and designing artificial intelligence systems. Recently, in March 2022, his NSF grant (SBIR) proposal in the blockchain division (distributed ledger) has been accepted (Award Number (FAIN): 2112078), where he serves as a Co-PI. His blockchain algorithm and related business models are effective for supply chain management, taking only desirable aspects from both central and decentralized systems based on a directed acyclic graph. He is an active scientist, his work has been published in European Journal of Operational Research, Operations Research Letters, Annals of Operations Research, Discrete Applied Mathematics and Computational Management Science, where one can find useful real-life applications of financial risk modeling, portfolio optimization, probability theory and related modeling, risk measures, corporate M&A deals evaluation, etc. Currently he works on blockchained supply chains, forecasting, data privacy, and new fairness and equity metrics using pseudo-Boolean functions.
