Susan R. Hunter works on simulation optimization, which involves finding the best decisions or system designs when the only way to evaluate options is through computer simulations that involve randomness. Her work focuses on problems with multiple competing objectives (multi-objective optimization) and on making these optimization methods faster by using parallel computing. She also develops software tools that implement these methods so others can apply them to practical decision-making problems.
