Andrew Schaefer

I am an Associate Professor and Wellington C. Carl Faculty Fellow in the Department of Industrial Engineering at The University of Pittsburgh. I also hold secondary appointments in the Departments of Medicine and Bioengineering.

I double-majored in Computational and Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Economic Analysis at Rice University in 1994. I also received a Masters in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice in 1994. I received my PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2000.

I am hiring a visiting research assistant professor. Please contact me if you're interested or have any questions.

My research papers are available here. Descriptions of my current and previous NSF grants may be found here.  I am also a co-Investigator on a grant from the National Library of Medicine, which is one of the National Institutes of Health.

Meet my current and former PhD students and post-docs.

I teach undergraduate courses in discrete event simulation and engineering the service sector. I teach a masters course in logistics and supply chain management. I teach PhD courses in integer programming, computational optimization, therapeutic optimization, stochastic programming, and advanced Markov decision processes.

IE 3093 - Stochastic Programming (Fall 2007)

IE 3077 - Therapeutic Optimization (Spring 2006)

IE 3051 - Computational Optimization (Fall 2006)

My CV (as of May 2008) can be found here

Please send emails regarding graduate assistantships to our graduate secretary.
