This is a broad area, covering topics such as network flow models, stochastic optimisation, and mixed-integer programming. In particular, I am interested in applying stochastic optimisation models (for example, two-stage stochastic programming models and chance-constrained models) to network flow problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have previously been involved in other areas, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Criminal justice &#8211; During my time working for the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, I was predominantly focused on analysing crime data to evaluate government programs to reduce crime, and examine trends in sentencing outcomes.
