About

The focus of Soheil’s research program is on mathematical optimization models and their applications in decision-making for healthcare applications. Mathematical programs are the primary analytical tools utilized in his research projects with particular interest devoted to novel solution techniques for stochastic optimization, integer programs, and bilevel optimization. Soheil’s primary application area is in healthcare, where he aims to introduce novel techniques to solve clinical decision-making problems in cancer care, notably personalized screening programs and personalized emerging treatments. In addition, Soheil has experience in formulating and solving interdiction problems using discrete bilevel programs, with direct application in protection and fortification of cyber-physical systems.
