operations research

Operations research combines the use of optimization, probability and statistics to solve problems in contextual domains such as business, energy systems, health services, financial services, telecommunications and transportation. Active areas of research often work at the intersection of these disciplines, such as the use of optimization in the estimation of large scale statistical models, optimal collection of information, and stochastic optimization.

Princeton Laboratory for Energy Systems Analysis (PENSA)

PENSA is the home of the SAP Initiative for Energy Systems Research at Princeton University. Our goal is to bring advanced analytical thinking to the development of new energy technologies, the rigorous study of energy policy, and the efficient management of energy resources.

We deal with problems where we have to make decisions over time as new information is arriving. Most of our problems involve complex vectors of decisions (managing fleets of vehicles, allocating research dollars to projects, planning energy investments or the use of current energy resources) in the presence of different sources of uncertainty. We begin with a desire to understand how to control these systems, and then use this information to develop robust designs.
