Research
Dr. Chen's primary research interests utilize statistical methodologies to create new methods for operations research problems in engineering and science. She has expertise in design of experiments and statistical modeling, particularly employed for computer experiments and stochastic optimization. She has studied applications in inventory forecasting, airline optimization, water reservoir networks, wastewater treatment, and air quality. Through her statistics-based approach, she has developed computationally-tractable methods for continuous-state stochastic dynamic programming, yield management, and environmental decision-making.
Professional Activities
Dr. Victoria (Tory) Chen is a Professor of IMSE at UTA. Dr. Chen is actively involved with the Institute for Operations Research and Mangement Science (Informs), serving as cluster chair, session organizer/chair, and officers for the Informs Section on Data Mining and for the Forum for Women in OR/MS. She has also served as Chair of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) New Researchers committee in 2001-2002, Program Chair for the Fifth IMS North American New Researchers Conference in 2000-2001, and Vice-President of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Statistical Association in 1995-2001.
