Morton E. O'Kelly studies how transportation networks—especially airline hub systems and facility location for services like retail and utilities—are designed and how efficiently they function. His work combines mathematical optimization models with real-world data on air travel, commuting patterns, and shopping trips to understand network structure, accessibility, and resilience. This research is relevant to students interested in quantitative geography, operations research, and transportation planning.
Publication output has been steady to slightly increasing over the last decade, with a noticeable uptick in yearly counts from 2022 through 2026 compared to earlier years (2017-2021).
