Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sarah Nurre Pinkley's research focuses on the application of operational research and mathematical modeling to complex logistical and public health challenges. Her work includes developing stochastic scheduling and allocation models for battery swap stations and managing medical drone deliveries using Markov decision processes. Pinkley has investigated drone delivery networks for vaccine supply chains, with a case study in Niger, and has explored hybrid agent-based simulation and optimization approaches for statewide truck parking capacity. Her recent publications also address public health issues, including an analysis of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. at both national and county levels. Pinkley has a publication record of 10 papers, with 150 citations and an h-index of 6. She collaborates with other researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sandra D. Ekşioğlu, Maximilian Kolter, Annabelle R. LaCrue, and Sarah Hernandez.
