Dale T. Masel works in industrial and systems engineering, focusing on optimization problems in manufacturing, warehousing, and healthcare operations. Much of the work involves building mathematical and data-driven models to improve efficiency, such as planning robot paths in automated warehouses, organizing surgical trays and instruments in hospitals, and managing inventory of perishable or medical supplies. The research combines optimization techniques (like mixed-integer programming and metaheuristics) with real-world logistics and healthcare decision-making problems.
