Abstract:
Stock markets play a vital role in the stability of the global economy. The financial crash in 2008 is a vivid example of how the stock markets and economy are connected. The underlying structure of stock markets is complex. Complex systems tend to operate in a nonlinear fashion, generating extreme and rare events. Current research in stock markets mainly focuses on analyzing individual stocks (i.e. microscopic analysis) while ignoring the overall interactions and dynamics between them (i.e. macroscopic analysis). In this talk, I will present a new perspective on the macroscopic nature of stock markets. This perspective offers new insights into the physics of the markets. The proposed approach analyzes the markets within the context of fluid dynamics. We utilize, for the first time, concepts from physics and incorporate them in modeling the external and internal dynamics of the markets. A novel model consisting of a stochastic system of nonlinear partial differential equations is introduced. The model allows connecting and determining the evolution of macroscopic variables adaptively. In the last part of this talk, I will address several extensions and ongoing efforts in this research.

The seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4:00 pm-5:00pm.

Abstract:
When learning a new skill, people can transfer their knowledge about other related skills they have grasped to expedite the learning. This human ability has inspired the development of a class of statistical machine learning models called Transfer Learning (TL). TL is an excellent choice for Precision Medicine because it allows for building a robust model for each patient based on not only the data of that patient but also transferred information from other patients.

An important problem that the existing TL literature has overlooked is “negative transfer”, referred to as the situation of worse performance of a TL model than a model without transfer learning. We provide theoretical study on the risk of negative transfer, which further motivates the development of a positive TL model to prevent negative transfer. This model is applied to building patient-specific models using smartphone-generated activity data such tapping, speaking, and walking to telemonitor patients with the Parkinson’s Disease. Telemonitoring belongs to the emerging health care platform of mHealth, which utilizes wireless technologies to enable remote monitoring of patient conditions and timely medical decisions.

Additionally, this talk will briefly introduce our developments of TL models in other health care applications, including multi-modality imaging data fusion for early detection of the Alzheimer’s Disease and hierarchical modality and feature selection from neuroimaging data for subtype identification of migraine.

Presenters:
Ali Taghavi, Network Optimization team manager
Jeremy Castaing, Transportation Optimization team manager

Abstract:
In this presentation, we discuss two ongoing research projects from the Applied Research team at LLamasoft. First, we look at how to integrate safety stock costs into a Network Optimization problem, and we show why previous approaches are either sub-optimal or become practically unsolvable. Second, we present a constraint-based Vehicle Routing algorithm that uses an evaluation sub-routine flexible enough to consider real-world constraints such as driver breaks, recharging of electric vehicles and dock doors. We then discuss the pros and cons of this approach compared to more traditional, MIP-based, methods.

Abstract:
In this talk, we introduce a scalable Gaussian process framework capable of learning expressive kernel functions on large datasets, implemented in our new library GPyTorch. We then develop this framework into an approach for deep kernel learning, with full predictive distributions and automatic complexity calibration. We will consider applications in crime prediction, epidemiology, counterfactuals, and autonomous vehicles. We will also present our work in understanding loss geometry in deep learning, leading to practical training methods with scalable uncertainty representation and improved generalization.

ABSTRACT: The millimeter-wave frequency spectrum is in increasing demand for wireless applications including communication and radar. Nitrogen-polar GaN devices at UCSB have now shown transformative performance with record-breaking power density of 8 W/mm and excellent efficiency in the W-band (75-110 GHz) frequency range. This talk will discuss some of UCSB's work on deep recess N-polar GaN MISHEMTs which has enabled this performance. The focus will be on this researcher's contribution to UCSB's N-polar GaN device program which has been to develop new methods to characterize and model these devices in a way which provides quick and insightful feedback for designing improved devices. This is achieved by providing unambiguous evaluations of large-signal performance by load pull at extremely high frequency, and using accurately extracted equivalent circuit models to identify which specific aspects of the device can be adjusted to realize improvements in performance. These methods led to improvement in the efficiency at 94 GHz from 17% to 28%, while the power density was increased to 8 W/mm. New characterization and modeling techniques are underway to understand and improve the linearity of the device, because distortion in amplifiers is of increasing importance for complex digital modulation schemes employed in modern communication systems.

Title: Gradient Based Criteria for Sequential Design

Abstract:
Computer simulation experiments are commonly used as an inexpensive alternative to real-world experiments to form a metamodel that approximates the input-output relationship of the real-world experiment. While a user may want to understand the entire response surface, they may also want to focus on interesting regions of the design space, such as where the gradient is large. In this paper we present an algorithm that adaptively runs a simulation experiment that focuses on finding areas of the response surface with a large gradient while also gathering an understanding of the entire surface. We consider the scenario where small batches of points can be run simultaneously, such as with multi-core processors.

STS Speaker. Just in Time: The Chronopolitics of the Queue (March 18, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58143 58143-14433273@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 18, 2019 4:00pm

This talk examines the politics of time as they play out through various problems of the queue—the organizational science and logistics of waiting lines. Drawing on ethnographic analysis of civility campaigns and customs inspection reform in contemporary China, I will show how the queue offers insight into shared concerns about “quality control” over the flows of both global supply chains and the movement of populations. These concerns link the market metrics of timeliness as configured by the dominant global production model of JIT or Just-in-Time with social questions of expedience and justice in the other sense of being "just" in time. These entangled issues converge in what I will explain as a politics of tempo--that is, as a question of pace and rhythm--in contradistinction to the conventional emphasis on "speed" or "space-time compression" in the analysis of global temporalities.

Biosketch: Julie Y. Chu is a sociocultural anthropologist with interests in mobility and migration, economy and value, ritual life, material culture, media and technology, and state regulatory regimes. Her book, Cosmologies of Credit: Transnational Mobility and the Politics of Destination in China (Duke University Press, 2010), received the 2011 Sharon Stephens Prize from the American Ethnological Society and the 2012 Clifford Geertz Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. Her current writing project is entitled The Hinge of Time: Infrastructure and Chronopolitics at China's Global Edge. Based on three years of fieldwork largely among Chinese customs inspectors and transnational migrant couriers, this work will analyze various infrastructures in place (legal-rational, financial, cosmic, piratical) for managing the temporal intensities and rhythms of people and things on the move between Southern China and the United States. A graduate of NYU’s Program in Culture and Media, she is also currently completing video projects related to her fieldwork as well as developing a new ethnographic focus on Chinese soundscapes, especially in relation to the changing qualities and valuations of the Chinese concept of renao (热闹, a bustling scene, social liveliness or, literally, “heat and noise”).

Title: Pricing Analytics for Reusable Resources

Abstract:
We consider the problem of pricing for reusable resources, which are items that can be consumed and reused afterwards such as hotel rooms, cloud computing, shared vehicles, and rotable parts. We develop a model to maximize a combination of profit rate, market share, and service level, which also captures the special dynamics of reusable resources. We prove that a static pricing policy achieves strong performance guarantees compared to a fully dynamic pricing policy. We also discuss the a large scale implementation of our pricing model at at Dassault Falcon Jet in the context of rotable spare parts.

Title: The challenging Euclidean Steiner Tree Problem

Abstract:
The Euclidean Steiner Tree Problem (ESTP) asks for a network of minimum length interconnecting a given set of points in n-dimensional space. We present well known geometric properties of the optimal solution of the ESTP and discuss their application in the development of solution methods. We focus on mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulations and branch-and-bound algorithms, identifying characteristics of the problem that make it a big challenge in optimization, particularly when n is greater than 2. Finally, we investigate what can still be done to improve our ability to solve this problem in the broader context of MINLP.

Bio:
Marcia Fampa is a Full Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), where she has been since 1997. She is at the Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute for Graduate Studies and Research in Engineering (COPPE), at UFRJ, where she has supervised more than 25 PhD and master students.

Project Management Certification (March 24, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

The Unlikely Friendship of Math and Science (April 3, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62432 62432-15364114@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 5:30pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

Abstract: On the one hand, there's science: the clear-eyed, hard-nosed, the pragmatic empiricist. On the other hand, there's math: the poet, the dreamer, the hunter of wild abstractions. How do these two intellectual traditions regard one another? And why is it that the most useless-sounding math - from knot theory to meta-logic to non-Euclidean geometry - often turns out to be the most useful? Prerequisites: basic human curiosity; tolerance for bad drawings; the willingness to participate in a silly debate. In short: all are welcome!

Project Management Certification (April 7, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126017@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 7, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

“Engineering science” courses are technical courses at the sophomore or junior level that are non-lab and non-design courses. While these courses make up a significant portion of students’ engineering education, they have received less research focus than design courses. In this talk we will present the beginnings of a framework capturing two overarching research questions: What should students learn in engineering science courses? And How should students learn in engineering science courses? We will then present two current research studies that each address these two questions. In the first we will describe the development of a coding scheme to characterize the degree to which instructors facilitate student sense-making in class and demonstrate how it is applied to question-initiated dialogue in two courses. In the second we will examine how students in one engineering science course solved and evaluated their answers for open-ended mathematical modeling problems.

Title:
White Coat, Black Box: Augmenting Clinical Care with AI in the Era of Deep Learning

Abstract:
Though the potential impact of machine learning in healthcare warrants genuine enthusiasm, the increasing computerization of the field is still often seen as a negative rather than a positive. The limited adoption of machine learning in healthcare to date points to the fact that there remain important challenges. In this talk, I will highlight two key challenges related to applying machine learning in healthcare: i) interpretability and ii) small sample size. First, machine learning has often been criticized for producing ‘black boxes.’ In this talk, I will argue that interpretability is neither necessary nor sufficient, demonstrating that even interpretable models can lack common sense. To address this issue, we propose a novel regularization method that enables the incorporation of domain knowledge during model training, leading to increased robustness. Second, machine learning techniques benefit from large amounts of data. However, oftentimes in healthcare we find ourselves in data poor settings (i.e., small sample sizes). I will show how domain knowledge can help guide architecture choices and efficiently make use of available data. In summary, there’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare; however, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques requires close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams.

Title:
Precision Mental Health Care through Mobile Technology

Problem Statement:
Problem Statement: Depression, sleep, addiction, anxiety, and suicide are leading, and growing, causes of disability, productivity loss, and premature mortality globally. The number of behavioral health clinicians available to provide traditional face-to-face care is woefully inadequate to meet the growing need. Further, a substantial proportion of patients treated under current healthcare systems do not get better. With evidence to meaningfully guide treatment decisions and objective measures of mental health both lacking, the choice of treatment is often based on clinician preference and simple heuristics.

More than any other recent advance, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data. Mobile technology holds the potential to both track and intervene on mental health symptoms in powerful ways that had not previously been possible. However, little is known about how to derive the greatest value from this technology by targeting patients most likely to benefit and by providing clinicians with the most useful information gleaned from the intensive data collection processes.

Bios:
Amy S.B. Bohnert, Ph.D., M.H.S. is a mental health services researcher with training in public health who focuses her research on epidemiology and brief interventions regarding substance use and related disorders. Within a team of collaborators at the University of Michigan and the Department of Veterans Affairs, she has led a number of projects related to overdose and prescription drug safety.

Srijan Sen, M.D., Ph.D. is the Associate Chair for Research and Research Faculty Development and Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Professor of Depression and Neurosciences. Dr. Sen’s research focuses on the interactions between genes and the environment and their effect on stress, anxiety, and depression. He also has a particular interest in medical education, and leads a large multi-institution study that uses medical internship as a model of stress.

Title: Plagiarism and iThenticate plagiarism detection software

Abstract:
Plagiarism is a serious issue that all authors needs to be aware of, whether it’s posters, journal articles, conference proceedings, or proposals. This presentation will help you understand what plagiarism is, the professional consequences that come with it, and how it can happen unintentionally (e.g. “self plagiarism”).

The university has licensed software called iThenticate that can help you screen your writing for unintended plagiarism. Librarians, Diana Perpich and Paul Grochowski, will show you how to access it and how to use it to protect yourself by screening your writing prior to submission.

Abstract:
The critical barrier to cost-effective wind power is partly rooted in wind stochasticity, severely complicating wind power production optimization and cost reduction. Therefore, the long-term viability of wind energy hinges upon a good understanding of its production reliability, which is affected in turn by the predictability of wind and power productivity of wind turbines.

This Big Data workshop presents recent research updates to addresses the big data challenges, including how to best use spatio-temporal data for wind forecast and how to use data of different nature and data of different sources for power production assessment in a computationally efficient manner.

Title:
Replication or exploration? Sequential design for stochastic simulation experiments

Abstract:
We investigate the merits of replication, and provide methods that search for optimal designs (including replicates), in the context of noisy computer simulation experiments. We first show that replication offers the potential to be beneficial from both design and computational perspectives, in the context of Gaussian process surrogate modeling. We then develop a lookahead based sequential design scheme that can determine if a new run should be at an existing input location (i.e., replicate) or at a new one (explore). When paired with a newly developed heteroskedastic Gaussian process model, our dynamic design scheme facilitates learning of signal and noise relationships which can vary throughout the input space. We show that it does so efficiently, on both computational and statistical grounds. In addition to illustrative synthetic examples, we demonstrate performance on two challenging real-data simulation experiments, from inventory management and epidemiology.

Title:
Margin At Risk: Decision-Making to the Test

Abstract:
A leading business's profit margins are vulnerable! Players are split into teams and assigned individual roles within the business and must make decisions to tighten their supply chain network and ensure they stay competitive in the market. Each player within a team has specific business objectives based on their role's priorities - which may conflict with other role's priorities. Players will learn that success of the business hinges on interdependent decision making and data sharing -- especially when unexpected changes to their network occurs. The team that most effectively collaborates will end up as the winner!

The data-rich environments in healthcare and ubiquitous use of smartphones hold great promises to accelerate the paradigm transition of U.S. healthcare from reactive care to preventive care. One question is how we could translate the disease data into better care management of patients through an emerging ecosystem of healthcare apps, made possible by smartphones now considered as medical devices. It is known that many diseases manifest complex progression process, involving both temporal dynamics and spatial evolution that could be captured by a rich array of sensors in a smartphone. How could we model, monitor, and modify these processes are challenging problems. For example, diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Type 1 Diabetes share the commonality that they involve slow and predictable progression processes. Knowing how a disease progresses is helpful, particularly if we’d like to prevent the disease as early as we could for maximum therapeutic efficacy and improved quality of life. The modeling of the progression process is statistically challenging given the high-dimensionality of the data, the mixed types variables, and the data’s longitudinal nature. Another commonality of these diseases is that, since they are chronic conditions, being able to recognize subtle symptoms that indicate significant clinical events or suggest worse outcomes is crucial for preventative care. Further, patients need to be dynamically prioritized by their projected risk for resource allocation optimization. This needs robust models that build on the statistical knowledge provided by disease modeling and monitoring, to guide the selection of high-risk patients for targeted care. In this talk, I will share some of our works to tackle these challenges by developing novel models and algorithms to provide data-driven decision-making capabilities for better disease management implemented through smartphone apps.

Title:
Stochastic Decomposition for Risk-Averse Multistage Stochastic Programming

Abstract:
Mean-risk multistage stochastic programming (MR-MSP) provides a framework for modeling sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty and risk. However, MR-MSP problems are difficult to solve due to their large-scale nature and the incorporation of risk measures in the objective. This work derives multistage stochastic decomposition (MSD) for solving large-scale MR-MSP instances with deviation and quantile risk measures. We show that risk-averse MSD converges asymptotically to an optimal solution and report on a computational study on the application of MSD to long-term hydrothermal scheduling. The study provides several insights into how optimal solutions vary across different risk levels as well as across different risk measures. In particular, the results reveal that conditional value at-risk exhibits desirable control over extreme scenarios than other risk measures.

Keywords:
Multistage stochastic programming, stochastic decomposition, interior sampling, mean-risk measures.

Hospitals have introduced information technology to improve the ability of staff to react in a timely fashion, but with mixed success. Hospitals have also continued to build new operating rooms, but advances in patient care and safety are not always evident. In this seminar, we address these two areas of concern regarding day-of-surgery patient flow and safety. Part 1: We describe the development and testing of a mobile application to explore if the use of technology could reduce barriers to communication and coordination on the day of surgery. While staff members in a hospital’s perioperative services department perform their work individually, their choices of upcoming tasks depend on data they can either observe or gather verbally in order to maintain patient flow. Without constant communication with members of other departments, staff may inadvertently select lower priority tasks, which is counter-productive to perioperative services as a whole. The developed mobile application, Periop-MLS, provided each department and its members greater visibility of the workflow. To carry out user testing, the researchers integrated a day-of-surgery discrete event simulation model to communicate with the mobile app to provide realistic scenarios. Through trial-runs of Periop-MLS with staff members, the POS department was able to make proactive coordination and communication decisions. Part 2: It is important to design an operating room layout that can not only improve staff and patient safety but also increase efficiency. In this research, we identify those design factors that influence safety and efficiency through reduced clutter, congestion, and staff walking during surgery. A sample of video-taped surgeries from a large academic hospital were studied to understand the movement of surgical staff during surgery. All activities were coded based on location, activity type, and purpose, and then simulation methodology was used to study the different activity types and movement patterns inside the room. Based on OR size, OR shape, operating table orientation, workstation locations, number of staff, number of doors, and surgery type, we provided critical insight to OR managers and researchers as they determine recommendations for OR design elements and inform the design of future operating rooms.

Kevin M. Taaffe, Ph.D., the Harriet and Jerry Dempsey Professor in Industrial Engineering at Clemson University, has 25 years of industry and academic experience. After receiving B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Engineering from the University of Illinois, Dr. Taaffe worked in the transportation logistics industry (American Airlines, Sabre) for eight years, before returning to academia to obtain his Ph.D. from the University of Florida. Dr. Taaffe’s research interests include the application of simulation and optimization in healthcare, production, and transportation logistics. In particular, Dr. Taaffe focuses on healthcare logistics problems that range from patient flow to operating room management to clinical space capacity management. Dr. Taaffe has worked with clinicians, administrators, managers, and support staff to identify and solve problems related to the patient and staff experience on the day of surgery. Dr. Taaffe began his career working as a transportation planning consultant, and there is a logical research thrust that has resulted from this experience. He has always enjoyed working on industry-sponsored projects that bridge the gap between theoretical research and application. This academic/industry collaboration is a theme of Dr. Taaffe’s interest, as can be seen by his named professorship. Harriet and Jerry Dempsey provided this professorship in an effort to strengthen the research ties between Clemson University and Prisma Health – Upstate.  In addition to his academic and research interests, Dr. Taaffe plays an important role in the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) where he serves as the Senior VP of North American Operations. In this role, he is helping students and professionals get the most out of their professional organization.

TITLE: Advancing Evidence-based Biomedical Engineering Education in Real Time

Undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) programs typically consist of courses from several different academic departments combined with BME-specific courses taught by faculty trained in a variety of disciplines. While some students embrace this diversity in courses and disciplinary perspectives, many struggle with how to translate these experiences into career opportunities. BME students are often concerned that they are perceived as a “jack of all trades, masters of none.” In 2016, the BME Department sought to find new ways to integrate BME professional practice into the curriculum.

Informed by organizational change theory, we asked: 1) Is there potential for change; 2) what strategies facilitate change; and 3) how can these strategies be implemented? As a result, we developed an Instructional Design Sequence, a new approach to instruction in which students, post docs, and faculty create short modules that use evidence-based teaching practices to expose BME students to BME professional practice.

This presentation describes how the Instructional Design Sequence was conceived and demonstrates how theory can be used to inform practice. The resultant Sequence is a transferrable model for transforming engineering education, offering a mechanism for integrating new career-relevant curriculum into undergraduate curriculum, while training future educators in evidence-based instructional practices.

Title:
Reference Pricing for Healthcare Services

Abstract:
The traditional payment system between an insurer and providers does not incentivize providers to limit their prices nor patients to choose less expensive providers, hence contributing to high insurer expenditures. Reference pricing has been proposed as a way to better align incentives and control the rising costs of healthcare. In this payment system, the insurer determines the maximum amount that can be reimbursed for a procedure (reference price). If a patient selects a provider charging more than the reference price, the patient is responsible for the entire portion above it. We propose a model to analyze the reference pricing payment scheme. Our model incorporates an insurer who chooses the reference price, multiple competing price-setting providers, and heterogeneous patients who select a provider based on a multinomial logit choice model. Our goal is to understand how reference pricing compares with payment systems where patients pay a fixed or a variable amount. We find that the highest-priced providers under a fixed payment system cut their prices under reference pricing. Moreover, reference pricing often outperforms the fixed and the variable payment system both in terms of expected patient utility and insurer cost, unless the procedure cost is high in relation to the reference price (i.e., the reference price is low). The entire system also benefits from reference pricing despite a loss in provider profit due to lower prices. Furthermore, reference pricing with a variable portion below the reference price tends to perform worse than reference pricing with a fixed payment below the reference price.

Title: Sequential Bayesian risk set estimation for robust simulation optimization under input model uncertainty

Abstract:
This talk discusses a new way of approaching a discrete simulation optimization
problem when the input distributions of the simulation model are estimated with error from real-world observations. This problem is known as ‘simulation optimization under input uncertainty’ and has been studied actively in recent years. Most approaches provide either asymptotic guarantee that the selected solution is the real-world optimum as the real-world sample size increases or find the optimum to an alternative formulation such as the distributionally robust optimum. This work focuses on finite-sample inference on the relative performances of the solutions while uncertainty about the input models are captured by their Bayesian posteriors. A user-specified smallest optimality gap of interest is reflected to control conservativeness of the procedure, so that two solutions whose expected performances are within is considered practically indistinguishable. The -level risk set of solution is defined as the set of solutions whose expected performance is practically better () than with significant probability () under the posterior on the input models. The size of the risk set shows robustness of solution; an empty risk set implies that there is no practically better solution than even with input uncertainty. For efficient estimation of the risk set, the expected performance is modeled
as a Gaussian process (GP) that takes a solution and a collection of input distributions generated from their posterior as inputs. A one-step look-ahead sampling rule is proposed to choose which solution-distributions pair to simulate in the next iteration to minimize the estimation error of the risk set.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

Title:
Making the Most of your Presentation

Abstract:
Strong presentation skills are a key to success for engineers, scientists, and others, yet many speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively or haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results. In this talk, Dr. Doumont proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver an oral presentation: he covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well as stage fright.

Bio:
An engineer from the Louvain School of Engineering and PhD in applied physics from Stanford University, Jean-luc Doumont now devotes his time and energy to training engineers, scientists, business people, and other rational minds in effective communication, pedagogy, statistical thinking, and related themes. With his rational background, he approaches communication in an original, engineering- like way that contrasts sharply with the tradition of the field, rooted in the humanities. He is thus well received by students and professionals in search of a method they can apply with the same rigor they have come to value in every other aspect of their occupations. Articulate, entertaining, and thought-provoking, he is a popular invited speaker worldwide, in particular at international scientific conferences, research laboratories, and top-ranked universities. He is happy to deliver his lectures in English, Spanish, French, or Dutch.

Title:
Robust Analysis of Metabolic Pathways

Abstract:
Flux balance analysis (FBA) is a widely adopted computational model in the study of whole cell metabolisms, often being used to identify drug targets, to study cancer, and to engineer cells for targeted purposes. The most widely used model is a linear program that maximizes cellular growth rate subject to achieving steady metabolic state and to satisfying environmental bounds. Quadratic and integer modifications are also common. Standard stoichiometry decides the preponderance of data in all instances, and hence, the majority of information defining an optimization model is certain. However, several key parts of a model rely on inferred science and are less certain; indeed, the method of deciding several of these values is opaque in the literature. This prompts the question of how the resulting science might depend on our lack of knowledge. We suggest a robust extension of FBA called Robust Analysis of Metabolic Pathways (RAMP) that accounts for uncertain information. We show that RAMP has several mathematical properties concomitant with our biological understanding, that RAMP performs like a relaxation of FBA in practice, and that RAMP requires special numerical awareness to solve.

Title:
The Meaning is the Variance: Population Heterogeneity Should be the Focus of Ergonomics and Biomechanics Research

Abstract:
The “50th-percentile” male is never the limiting case, and the “5th-percentile female” and “95th-percentile male” don’t exist. Why do people keep talking about them? I will discuss why mean and univariate effects in ergonomics and biomechanics often leave out most of the interesting phenomena and why we should focus our efforts in education and research on rigorous, multivariate consideration of population heterogeneity with examples from industrial ergonomics, product design, and crash safety.

Title:
Stochastic Hierarchical Planning: A Win-Win Paradigm for Power System Operations

Abstract:
Driven by ambitious renewable portfolio standards, variable energy resources (such as wind and solar) are expected to impose unprecedented levels of uncertainty to power system operations. The current practice of planning operations with deterministic optimization tools may be ill-suited for a future where uncertainty is abundant. To overcome the reliability challenges associated with the large-scale inclusion of renewable resources, we present a stochastic hierarchical planning (SHP) framework. This framework captures operations at day-ahead, short-term and hour-ahead timescales, as well as the interactions between decisions and stochastic processes across these timescales. While stochastic counterparts of individual optimization problems (e.g., unit commitment, economic dispatch etc.) have been studied previously, this presentation is built around a comprehensive computational treatment of planning frameworks that are stitched together in a hierarchical setting. Computational experiments conducted with the NREL118 dataset reveal that, relative to its deterministic counterpart, the SHP framework significantly reduces unmet demand, and can lead to substantial savings in costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Such a "Win-Win" paradigm is only possible through new approaches which combine OR and Data Science through Stochastic Programming.

Every instance of a design process can be represented with a design signature – a tracing of design activities over time that can be represented as a timeline. Design signatures can differ across levels of expertise of the designer(s) in significant ways. These representations have been shown to be effective for teaching undergraduate engineers about the complexities of design processes.

In this talk, I will review the research findings from an analysis of verbal protocols from 177 individuals with a wide range of expertise (from beginning undergrads through expert professionals in industry) who solved 401 separate design problems. We found that individuals with more expertise 1) use processes that demonstrate a higher level of complexity, 2) consider a broader set of information and objects during their design process, 3) spend longer solving the problem they were given, and 4) are more likely to demonstrate a cascade pattern in their tracing across design activities. I will also discuss several teaching activities that are derived from the research.

Title:
Leveraging pharmacy and medication data to improve human health

Abstract:
Following the life cycle of prescription drugs, from prescribing decisions to their associated outcomes, I discuss research opportunities and challenges in the medication use domain. I’ll focus on outpatient pharmacy (e.g., retail and mail-order environments) and share my past research designing and evaluating the use of technology on pharmacy practice outcomes. I share future directions in the field and cover relevant data generated by the industry. My primary goal for this lunch and learn is to communicate with IOE researchers and learn more about the perspectives of its faculty, researchers, and students in order to improve my own research and knowledge of the discipline. I hope that by introducing my work we can identify potential opportunities for collaboration. I have also identified several federal grant announcements that are relevant to medication safety, machines, and processes. I want to strengthen connections between Industrial and Operations Engineering and the College of Pharmacy.

Title:
Convexification of substructures in quadratically constrained quadratic program

Abstract:
An important approach to solving non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP) to global optimality is to use convex relaxations and branch-and-bound algorithms. In our first result, we show that the exact convex hull of the solutions of a general quadratic equation intersected with any polytope is second-order cone representable. The proof is constructive and relies on the discovery of an interesting property of quadratic functions, which may be of independent interest: A set defined by a single quadratic equation is either (1) the boundary of a convex set, or (2) the boundary of union of two convex sets or (3) it has the property that through every point on the surface, there exists a straight line that is entirely contained in the surface. We next study sets defined for matrix variables that satisfy rank-1 constraint together with different choices of linear side constraints. We identify different conditions on the linear side constraints, under which the convex hull of the rank-1 set is polyhedral or second-order cone representable. Finally, we present results from comprehensive set of computational experiments and show that our convexification results together with discretization significantly help in improving dual bounds for the generalized pooling problem. (This is joint work with Asteroide Santana and Burak Kocuk.)

Title:
Contextual Learning with Online Convex Optimization: Theory and Applications to Chronic Diseases

Abstract:
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, requiring the surveillance and monitoring of patients to assess disease progression and determine if a treatment is warranted. Even when a suitable treatment is prescribed, dosing it correctly remains a significant challenge because proper dosage is highly volatile among patients. This involves adaptively learning a personalized disease progression control model conditional on patient-specific contextual information. We formulate this as a new contextual multi-armed bandit under a two-dimensional patient-specific control with a nested structure, which sequentially selects both treatment and corresponding dosage based on contextual information of patients, with the goal of minimizing disease progression risk. We develop contextual learning and optimization algorithms that integrate the strength of contextual bandit learning with online convex optimization. Comparing with the clairvoyant optimal policy, we prove a T-period regret, which is provably tight up to a logarithmic factor. We illustrate the effectiveness of our methodology by using case data on patients with type 2 diabetes. We believe that our contextual learning and optimization framework could be widely used in many other service systems.

Bio:
Esmaeil Keyvanshokooh is a PhD candidate in Operations Research at the Industrial and Operations Engineering department of the University of Michigan. His main research interests have broadly focused on developing efficient and effective data-driven algorithms with theoretical performance guarantees for several core problems in healthcare operations and medical decision making. Methodologically, he focuses on statistical machine learning algorithms such as contextual multi armed bandits, online convex optimization, and reinforcement learning. For applications, he focuses on online resource allocation for healthcare operations, readmission problem, managing chronic disease progression, and personalized medicine.

Proven medicines and technologies already exist to address many of the world's biggest health challenges. But these products are only effective when they can be reliably delivered to the patients who need them, and in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), health product supply chains are not as efficient or reliable as they need to be. Patients and providers often lack access to quality, affordable medicines, and health outcomes suffer as a result.
 
Governments, businesses, multilateral agencies, and nonprofits are all play a critical role in LMIC health supply chains, but each have their own unique perspectives, processes, and goals. Improving supply chain performance in this context requires a systems thinking approach, one that combines traditional logistics management and optimization techniques with a more holistic understanding of how to incentivize and align the actions of diverse organizations.
 
In this session we will explore the William Davidson Institute's work in improving LMIC health supply chain performance, and will highlight lessons and experiences that are applicable in any complex health system environment.

Michael Krautmann joined the William Davidson Institute's Healthcare Initiative in 2015. His research and consulting work focuses on modeling, investment decisionmaking, and strategy development to improve the operational efficiency and service levels of public health supply chains. While at WDI Michael has helped develop several Excel tools and white papers that inform key elements of the supply chain design and strategy development process. He has also conducted strategic evaluations of ongoing supply chain programs in several countries, helping client organizations improve their approach for providing technical assistance and delivering health products.
 
Michael holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan.  Prior to joining WDI, he worked for Lean Care Solutions, a healthcare technology startup that uses predictive analytics to help hospitals improve patient scheduling and postoperative care. He also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia, where he helped evaluate clinic-level supply chain practices for a United States Agency for International Development-funded health project.

Title:
Distributed Computational Methods For Healthcare Access Modeling

Abstract:
The research presented in this seminar has been motivated by one of my research programs to bring rigor in measurement of and inference on healthcare access, with a recent book to be released, titled Healthcare System Access: Measurement, Inference and Intervention. I will begin with an overview of the underlying framework to assess healthcare access with a focus on health policy making. I will use this framework to motivate the access model, a classic assignment optimization but with many important computational challenges, including spatial dependence in the outcome measures, complex system constraints, large-scale decision space among other. I will present computationally efficient methods for addressing large-scale optimization problems accounting for spatial coupling in the context of uncertainty quantification.

Title:
Nurse Staffing under Absenteeism: A Distributionally Robust Optimization Approach

Abstract:
We study the nurse staffing problem under random nurse demand and absenteeism. While the demand uncertainty is exogenous (stemming from the random patient census), the absenteeism uncertainty is endogenous, i.e., the number of nurses who show up for work partially depends on the nurse staffing level. For the quality of care, many hospitals have developed float pools of nurses by cross-training, so that a pool nurse can be assigned to the units short of nurses. In this paper, we propose a distributionally robust nurse staffing (DRNS) model that considers both exogenous and endogenous uncertainties. We derive a separation algorithm to solve this model under an arbitrary structure of float pools. In addition, we identify several pool structures that often arise in practice and recast the corresponding DRNS model as a monolithic mixed-integer linear program, which facilitates off-the-shelf commercial solvers. Furthermore, we optimize the float pool design to reduce the cross-training while achieving a specified target staffing costs. The numerical case studies, based on the data of a collaborating hospital, suggest that the units with high absenteeism probability should be pooled together.

Location: Industrial and Operations Engineering Building
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.

This event is open to all College of Engineering faculty. Space is limited to 20 participants. Light snacks will be served.

Research has shown that graduate students struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression at higher rates than the general population. While some stress and uncertainty is unavoidable in graduate training, research mentors can have a direct impact on the well-being (emotional, physical, and mental health) of members of their research group. By fostering an environment that supports well-being, mentors can positively impact mentees’ sense of autonomy, competence, personal growth, and belonging. Developing the skills to have open conversations about these topics is key to this process.

In this interactive workshop, faculty participants will engage in discussions and activities about mentee well-being using the Fostering Well-being curricula. Participants will: (1) learn the definition of mental health and identify signs of well-being; (2) develop awareness about how mentoring behaviors can impact mentee well-being; (3) identify steps to creating an environment that fosters well-being in a diverse group of mentees; and (4) learn to initiate conversations with mentees about their well-being and mental health.

As the data tsunami washed over everything including college campuses, universities invested heavily in data management systems and then layered on services to create the highly digitally-engineered environments in which we work today. Within that context, I’ll review the seeding and ongoing nurturing of two U-M services (Atlas and Problem Roulette) that share common themes of access and transparency. As examples of research enabled by these services, I’ll present evidence showing that: (i) on average, females study more for less reward in STEM subjects than male students, and (ii) increased selectivity, as measured by ACT/SAT scores, is a minor factor driving undergraduate grades upward. The talk will close by inviting your thoughts and discussion on potential future directions for these and similar services.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Prof. August E. (Gus) Evrard is a first-generation computational cosmologist and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy at U-M. Author of the first algorithm to enable multi-fluid simulation of galaxy and large-scale cosmic structure formation, Prof. Evrard's research is focused on understanding the population of clusters of galaxies, the rarest and largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe.

Title:
Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics for Concussion Management Decisions

Abstract:
Concussion, the most common type of traumatic brain injury, has been identified as a public health issue. Recent research has exposed a troubling relationship between concussion and long-term health consequences to brain health, such as cognitive impairment, depression, and neurodegenerative disease. Appropriate concussion management is thought to play a critical role in improving long and short-term health outcomes for those with concussion. Unfortunately, the diagnosis and post-injury management of concussion remains challenging for many reasons, including: the lack of a gold standard diagnostic marker, the potential for strategic symptom reporting, and the need for guidelines built on rigorous analysis of large, observational clinical datasets. In this research, we develop two frameworks to address these issues. In the first framework, we formulate the two-threshold problem (TTP) as a stochastic programming model to determine which patients should be diagnosed as positive, negative, or deferred due to a lack of conclusive evidence. We characterize the optimal solution to TTP and develop data-driven methodologies to solve and calibrate TTP. In the second framework, we formulate a multi-agent Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (mPOMDP) to model both the patient’s and doctor’s perspectives in sequential treatment decision problems. We analyze the role strategic symptom-reporting on the optimal timing of return-to-play from sports-related concussion. While classical results for POMDPs do not hold for the mPOMDP, we derive conditions which ensure that the doctor’s optimal policy follows a threshold-type structure. For both frameworks, we conduct numerical studies using multi-center data from the CARE Consortium – the largest available dataset on sports-related concussion. We show that our frameworks outperform existing methods commonly used in practice and use our findings to generate concussion clinical management insights. The models developed in this research provide technical contributions to data-driven decision-making that can be applied broadly to other areas within and beyond healthcare.

Bio:

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master’s degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan. In his research, Gian is interested in developing data-driven frameworks for predictive and prescriptive analytics as motivated by high-impact problems in healthcare. His current research focuses on (1) using large clinical datasets to gain patient-specific insights on disease progression and (2) combining these insights with stakeholders’ perspectives to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions. His research has been applied to concussion, glaucoma, and cardiovascular disease. It has been recognized by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, the INFORMS Bonder Scholarship for Applied Operations Research in Health Services, the Rackham Merit Fellowship, the SMDM Lee B. Lusted Prize in Quantitative Methods and Theoretical Developments, and first prize at the INFORMS Minority Issues Forum Poster Competition.

Title:
Back to the Future—The C4E Story

Abstract:
From 1960 to 2000, several major social and economic conditions in the US created the need and opportunity for multiple disciplines to combine in an effort to improve a variety of environments for people of all ages. This seminar will discuss how these conditions led faculty members from IOE, Environmental and Occupational Health, Statistics, Psychology, Pediatrics, Anthropology, and the Transportation Research Institute to collaborate and then form the Center for Ergonomics in 1980. Early problems addressed by these faculty members and their students led to methods and solutions related to improving: Apollo EVA/IVA tasks, Child Product Safety Requirements, OSHA Fall Protection Requirements, Occupational Weight Lifting Requirements, Aircraft Baggage Handling Limitations, Disney Resort Manual Activity Requirements, Automobile Egress and Ingress Designs, to name a few. More recently, the emphasis in workplace and product design has broadened and shifted from supporting primarily physical task requirements to addressing the perceptual and cognitive demands imposed by increasingly automated and (semi)autonomous technologies. The second part of this talk will highlight recent C4E research and accomplishments, and discuss future opportunities in the areas of human-machine teaming and human-robot interaction.

Title:
Incentivizing Supply Chain Resiliency to Prevent Drug Shortages

Abstract:
Drug shortages continue to be a public health crisis in the United States. There are hundreds of active shortages each year, and they persist for an average of fourteen months. Shortages are often caused by supply chain disruptions. In this work, I present a multi-stage stochastic program that optimizes a pharmaceutical company’s supply chain design under uncertainty in component availability. Components include suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs),
manufacturing plants, and lines. It is one of the first models to consider the effects of disruption and recovery over time and for facilities at multiple echelons. I introduce a replenishment rule to enforce the nonanticipativity constraints implicitly and solve a thirteen stage program. I study the effects of policies that have been proposed to reduce shortages on supply chains of example oncology drugs.

Virtual appointments between patients and healthcare providers can offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional office appointments for managing chronic conditions. Virtual appointments increase contact with the physician by either substituting or complementing office appointments, leading to improved health outcomes. The true value of virtual appointments cannot be realized until they are truly integrated with the office appointment systems. In this study, we introduce a capacity allocation model to study the use of virtual appointments in a chronic care setting. Specifically, we develop a finite horizon stochastic dynamic program to determine which patients to schedule for office and virtual appointments that maximizes aggregate health benefits across a cohort of patients. Optimal policy characterization for this problem is challenging. We find that under certain conditions, a myopic heuristic, where the sickest patients are scheduled for office appointments and the next sickest patients are scheduled for virtual appointments, is optimal. We show that the myopic heuristic performs well even in more general settings. Our findings further show that virtual appointments serve a dual purpose: they may reduce the number of office appointments and may trigger follow-up office appointments.
