OverviewAI-generated summary

Sarah Nurre Pinkley's research focuses on the application of operations research and optimization techniques to complex logistical and healthcare-related problems. Her work includes developing models for scheduling, allocation, and inventory replenishment, particularly in the context of battery swap stations for electric vehicles and drone-based delivery systems. She has investigated the use of Markov decision processes for managing medical drone deliveries and designing drone delivery networks for vaccine supply chains in regions like Niger.

Pinkley has also explored the use of hybrid agent-based simulation and optimization approaches for large-scale infrastructure planning, such as statewide truck parking capacity expansion. Furthermore, her research extends to public health, with publications analyzing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. at both national and county levels. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6, with 10 publications and 148 citations. She has collaborated with researchers such as Sandra D. Ekşioğlu and Maximilian Kolter at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
