● Mine Planning
and Design Optimization.
● Simulation Optimization of Mining Systems. MOL research
focuses on using operations research and advanced analytical methods such as
mathematical modeling, optimization, discrete event/continuous simulation,
and intelligent agents to arrive optimal or near-optimal solutions to
complex, large-scale mine planning/operations decision-making problems.
