My schedule, including office hours.
You can get my snail mail address and some other background information on me, including a brief description of my Research Interests.
I have a list of my recent publications; many of them can be downloaded. Many of the papers are in the area of interior point methods for linear and convex programming, with particular emphasis on using these methods in column generation and cutting plane algorithms. Such techniques can be used to solve, for example, integer programming problems, stochastic programming problems and multicommodity flow problems.

I have set up web pages for any course I've taught in the last few years. You can download course outlines, homeworks, exams, and other materials from these pages.
There are several optimization packages available on RCS at Rensselaer, including AMPL, CPLEX, and MINTO. You can find links to the homepages for these packages and also information on using them at Rensselaer.
My research is part of the larger field of Operations Research. I have a list of selected OR sites, including links to general resources, conference homepages, various areas of operations research, colleagues, professional organizations, and book and journal publishers.
