As director of the Laboratory for Stochastic Systems, Dr. Baykal-Gürsoy is doing research in the areas of modeling, optimization and control of stochastic systems, such as transportation, telecommunication and supply chain networks. She is creating models that realistically represent complex phenomena such as traffic flow interrupted by incidents, or adversarial relationship between network attackers and protectors. She is developing stochastic optimization algorithms for adjustment of inventories and product price in supply chains; resource allocation in emergency management; dynamic traffic flow management under incidents, and for stochastic games applied to the infrastructure and network security problems. Dr. Baykal-Gürsoy is currently focusing on the analysis and mitigation of traffic congestion; and on Bayesian games for security.
Dr. Baykal-Gürsoy’s research has been supported through grants from NSF, UN, DOD, Rutgers TCC/FTA, Rutgers University Center for Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response, and Rutgers Academic Excellence Fund. Her former student, W. Xiao, was a finalist in the 2004 Transportation Science and Logistics Section Dissertation Prize Competition.
Dr. Baykal-Gürsoy is the principle investigator of an award with Rutgers portion totaling $210,000 from the National Science Foundation. This NSF grant will fund a collaborative research project –entitled, “Collaborative Research: Network Protection under Uncertainty”—which will employ integrated modeling and game theory to improve the security of populations under threat.
