System Dynamics and Simulation

My research interests include biomedical dynamics, the software development process, criminal justice systems, sustainability, supply chain management, organizational dynamics and systems thinking, simulation & optimization methods, and teaching. The simulation languages I use include Vensim, Arena, Extend, ProModel, Netlogo, STELLA, and Simulink.
