Mariel Lavieri joined the faculty in 2009. In her work, she applies operations research to healthcare topics. Her most recent research focuses on medical decision making, in particular on determining optimal treatment protocols by explicitly modeling stochastic disease progression. She has also developed models for health workforce planning, which take into account training requirements, workforce attrition, capacity planning, promotion rules and learning. Mariel is the recipient of both the Bonder Scholarship (for her potential in making a significant contribution to the field of applied operations research in health care services) as well as the Pierskalla Award (awarded for the best paper presented in a Health Applications Section sponsored session at INFORMS).
