The annual award recognizes the significant achievements of engineering researchers and educators... Read more
Consumers are paying increasing attention to their impact on the planet—and therefore, so are retailers. Now a study by Faisal Alkaabneh, a fifth-year student in Cornell Engineering’s Systems Ph.D. program, contributes a systems perspective to solving important last-mile logistic problems, taking both environmental and economic metrics into account. Recently accepted for publication by the journal Computers and Operations Research, the resulting paper will appear under the title “Benders decomposition for the inventory vehicle routing problem with perishable products and environmental costs.”...
