Prof. Allen G. Greenwood, Mississippi State University, USA

Allen Greenwood is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Mississippi State University (MSU). He teaches courses and conducts research in simulation, project management, and enterprise systems engineering. His primary interest is applied OR, especially in the use of simulation modeling, analysis, and optimization – oftentimes implemented through decision-support systems – to improve the design and management of production and project systems.

He received the B.S.I.E. degree from North Carolina State University, M.S.I.E. from the University of Tennessee, and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech. Prior to joining MSU, he held positions at American Enka Company, General Dynamics Corporation, Virginia Tech, Northeastern University, and the American University of Armenia. His professional experience spans a wide variety of domains -- engineering design and development (military aircraft and aerospace), manufacturing and production systems (military aircraft, shipbuilding, automotive, textile fibers, and electrical systems), project management, and healthcare. His research has been funded by such organizations as the AFRL (Air Force Research Laboratory), ONR (Office of Naval Research), NAVSEA (Naval Sea Systems Command), NASA, Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, Nissan North America, General Electric Aviation, and Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (Mississippi State University). He has authored or co-authored nearly 100 creative works, including journal and conference papers, technical reports, software programs, etc. His research has appeared in such journals as Decision Sciences, European Journal of Operations Research, IEEE Transactions on Reliability, IIE Transactions, Journal of the Operational Research Society, and Naval Research Logistics.
