Five MET Decision Sciences Research Lab (DSLab) researchers have co-authored two articles and one poster to be presented at the 52nd Northeast Decision Sciences Institute (NEDSI) meeting on April 7-9 in Newark, New jersey. The first paper, “Severity Prediction Models to Support MBTA Winter Storm Planning,” was co-authored by M.S. students Yiwei (Danielle) Song, Ruojia Peng, and Claire Ding; it will be presented by Claire at the meeting. Prof. John Maleyeff supervised this project, with collaboration from Frans Valk and Mark Munroe at the MBTA. The second paper, “Climate Change Impacts on Boston Hospitals,” was co-authored by M.S. students Pennart Klanwari and Jiayi Pan; it will be presented by Pennart at the meeting. Profs. Canan Corlu and Dave Weidman supervised this project. The poster, called “MBTA Winter Storm Planning: Slick Road Prediction Model,” was prepared by Danielle Song. It will be entered in a master’s student competition to be held at the conference.
Nine of the 10 current DSLab student researchers are expected to attend the conference, along with John Maleyeff and Canan Corlu. More information about the DSLab and its past and ongoing projects can be found here: https://sites.bu.edu/met-dslab/.
