Biography

Kumar Muthuraman is a professor with expertise in modeling and forecasting. In addition, he serves as the director for the Center of Research and Analytics. As the recipient of a prestigious National Science Foundation grant, he's worked closely with hospitals and clinics to create innovative scheduling models that dramatically reduce patient wait times while improving clinic profitability. His work is currently being tested in more than 300 clinics as well as a large university hospital.

His other research areas include asset pricing, derivatives, and operations. Before joining the faculty at McCombs, Muthuraman was an assistant professor at Purdue University and a graduate research assistant at Stanford.

Robust Optimization Policy Benchmarks and Modeling Errors in Natural Gas


European Journal of Operational Research

2016-05-01

The problem of regulating natural gas procurement has become a huge burden to regulators, especially due to the plethora of complicated financial contracts that are now being used by local distribution companies (LDCs) for risk management purposes. ...We demonstrate in this paper that when modeling errors are present, the policy benchmarks proposed earlier can backfire and are hence, as suspected, not well suited for regulation.
