Research summary
AI-generated

William B. Haskell works in decision sciences, developing mathematical methods for making decisions under uncertainty and risk. His work spans optimization theory, stochastic control, and reinforcement learning, with applications to supply chain contracts, inventory management, resource scheduling, and nonprofit operations. Much of the research is methodological, building tools that help decision-makers account for risk aversion and limited data when planning under uncertainty.

Publication output was higher earlier in the decade (11-17 papers/year from 2017-2020) and has declined to a steadier but lower pace of roughly 2-6 papers/year since 2021.
