This episode is one of a special series recorded during the 2019 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle. Joining me is Andy Philpott from the University of Auckland to discuss the topic of his keynote session from this year’s Meeting, “Zero Carbon Analytics,” which explored how analytics is being used to plan the transition to a world with net-zero carbon emissions to help combat climate change from global warming.
Interviewed this episode:
Andy Philpott
University of Auckland
Andy Philpott’s research interests span most of mathematical programming, in particular linear, non-linear and stochastic programming and their application to operations research problems, in particular optimal planning under uncertainty, capacity expansion in telecommunications and power networks, optimal power generation hydro-electric power systems, stochastic optimization in supply chains, and optimal yacht routing under uncertainty.
Much of his recent research has been conducted as part of the Electric Power Optimization Centre, which develops optimization and equilibrium models of electricity markets.
