Rie Huntington

Rie Huntington is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh under the advisement of Dr. Bo Zeng. Before joining the program, Rie was an undergraduate in the department. Rie spent this past summer researching at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he held a joint appointment with the Center for Nonlinear Studies and the Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics Group in the Theoretical Division. Previously, he worked as a Process Improvement Consultant at UPMC Children's Hospital and with the Global Digital Transformation and Data Analytics Group at Westinghouse. His research interests lie in developing bilevel optimization models under uncertainty and computational algorithms to address challenges in transportation, power systems, and healthcare.
