Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sarah Nurre Pinkley's research focuses on the application of operations research and quantitative methods to complex logistical and supply chain challenges, particularly within healthcare and transportation sectors. Her work has investigated stochastic scheduling and allocation problems for battery swap stations, drawing on approximate dynamic programming and Markov decision processes. She has also explored the use of drones for medical delivery, including vaccine supply chains in regions like Niger, and analyzed factors influencing vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. at both national and county levels. Pinkley's research interests extend to simulation and optimization approaches for infrastructure expansion, such as statewide truck parking capacity. She has published nine papers and has an h-index of 6 with 162 citations. Her collaborators include Sandra D. Ekşioğlu and Maximilian Kolter from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
