SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Data-Driven Optimization Approach For the Dynamic Shuttle Dispatching Problem
DESCRIPTION:The problem of dispatching shuttles to serve trip requests can be mathematically formulated as a dial-a-ride problem (DARP). With on-demand mobility services gaining more popularity in recent years\, the real-time application of DARP is attracting ever more interest. However\, the fact that size of DARP grows exponentially with number of requests renders the current solution methodologies inadequate for online applications. In order to tackle this issue\, we propose a general framework that shifts much of the computational burden of the optimization problems that need to be solved into an offline setting\, thereby addressing on-demand requests with fast and high-quality solutions in real time. Furthermore\, in order to improve the utilization rate of vehicles\, we seek to dispatch our shuttle proactively\, and not wait for the demand to be realized first. Using various numerical experiments\, we demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method. Furthermore\, we present a sensitivity analysis to show the performance of our methodology under different parameter settings.\n\nAmir is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He is working under the supervision of Dr. Neda Masoud.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ilya Kaminsky Roundtable Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Ilya Kaminsky’s widely acclaimed parable in poems\, Deaf Republic (Graywolf\, 2019)\, reads like a two-act political drama in which lyric poems trace the experiences of citizens living under martial law. A New Yorker review called it a work of “profound imagination.” Poems from Deaf Republic were awarded Poetry magazine's Levinson Prize and the Pushcart Prize.  \n\nKaminsky is also the author of Dancing In Odessa (Tupelo Press\, 2004)\, and Musica Humana (Chapiteau Press\, 2002). Kaminsky has won the Whiting Writer's Award\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters' Metcalf Award\, the Dorset Prize\, a Ruth Lilly Fellowship\, and the Foreword Magazine’s Best Poetry Book of the Year award. Recently\, he was on the short-list for the Neusdadt International Literature Prize. His poems have been translated into numerous languages and his books have been published in many countries including Turkey\, Holland\, Russia\, France\, Mexico\, Macedonia\, Romania\, Spain and China\, where his poetry was awarded the Yinchuan International Poetry Prize. His poems have been compared to work by Anna Akhmatova\, Osip Mandelstam\, and Marina Tsvetaeva.\n\nHe is the editor of several anthologies\, among them The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry (Ecco\, 2010)\, co-edited with Susan Harris\, which John Ashbery praised as “immediately indispensable\;” A God in the House: Poets Talk About Faith (Tupelo Press\, 2012)\, co-edited with Katherine Towler\;  Gossip and Metaphysics: Russian Modernist Poets and Prose (Tupelo Press\, 2014)\, co-edited with Katie Farris and Valzhyna Mort\; and In the Shape of the Human Body I am Visiting the Earth: Poems from Far and Wide (McSweeney's\, 2017) with Dominic Luxford and Jesse Nathan.  With Jean Valentine\, he has co-translated Dark Elderberry Branch: Poems of Marina Tsvetaeva.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive and welcoming to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209)\, reflection room (Haven Hall #1506)\, and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site.
