Biography

Dr. Sudipta Chowdhury joined Marshall University in Fall, 2022 as an Assistant Professor at the department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. Sudipta Chowdhury’s primary area of research is on enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructures under varying degrees of natural and man-made disasters. He has developed complex planning frameworks, mathematical models, and solution techniques for analyzing different systems and system of systems (SoS) involving transportation asset management and planning, supply chain and logistics, vehicle routing, and power utility asset restoration. His works were funded by various agencies such as US Department of Transportation, Pacific Northwest National Lab, US Army, Construction Industry Institute, Eversource Energy, and FedEx. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and multiple conference proceedings. He serves as a reviewer of multiple journals such as OR spectrum, Computers and Operations Research, International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, Sustainable Cities and Society, Applied Soft Computing, Mathematics, and IEEE systems.
