Friday Jan. 30th
Optimization and Multi-Stakeholder Objectives for Air Transportation  
Systems

Hamsa Balakrishnan
Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering  
Systems

Noon–1:30 pm
E40-298



The design and operation of air transportation systems pose many  
control and optimization challenges. We would like to increase the  
efficiency of operations and their robustness, but need to take into  
account other stakeholder objectives such as maintaining safety and  
limiting environmental impact. This talk will discuss the challenges  
posed by uncertainty due to weather, airline competition and  
environmental concerns.



Bring brown bag lunch; light refreshments provided.
