Bijan’s research focuses on optimization, machine learning, data-driven decision-making, operations research, simulation, sustainability, reliability, project planning, and analytical methods.
In his recent work, they addressed a challenge in decision-making and classification problems where actions must be taken prior to observing an uncertain event, and incorrect decisions result in asymmetric costs. They proposed some novel methods that integrate machine learning and optimization techniques to derive decision rules from limited observations, particularly in scenarios where frequent features have a significant impact on outcomes.
He has published several papers in high-impact international journals in the fields of Industrial Engineering, Renewable Energy, and Sustainability. For more details, please visit his Google Scholar profile.
