Operations Research Talk by Dr. Dennis Blumenfeld of GM Research
OR Talk Flyer
On January 25, 2005 we hosted Dr. Dennis Blumenfeld to talk about his work in the automotive industry using operations research and math modeling techniques. One interesting example he gave was an experiment which modelled the commute time and speed of traffic during rush hour using GPS traffic data collected by his colleagues.
