  Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science, Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, USC Viterbi School of Engineering

  Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars

  
  

  Speaker: Cyrus Shahabi, Viterbi professor, IMSC director
  
  Talk Title: TransDec: A Data-Driven Framework for Decision Making in Transportation Systems
  
  Abstract: TransDec is a real-data driven system to support decision-making in transportation systems. The vast amounts of transportation datasets collected by federal and state agencies are extremely valuable for real-time decision making, planning and management of transportation systems, In this talk we will present our framework.
  
  Lunch will be availabe for those who RSVP to tgong@usc.edu

  Speaker: Dr. Sachin Adlakha, Center for the Mathematics of Information, Caltech
  
  Talk Title: Energy Procurement Strategies in Presence of Intermittent Sources
  
  Series: Communications, Networks & Systems (CommNetS) Seminar
  
  Abstract: We study the impact of a high penetration of intermittent wind generation on electricity markets. Specifically, we analyze the effect of wind prediction accuracy, as well as the volume of wind farm installations, on the conventional generation that needs to be contracted for in long term, day ahead, and real time markets. This provides insight into how the markets for conventional generation might need to be restructured in order to make efficient use of high volumes of renewable generation. (Joint work with Jayakrishnan Nair and Adam Wierman)
  
  Biography: Sachin Adlakha is postdoctoral fellow at Caltech’s Center for the Mathematics of Information. Prior to coming to Caltech, he obtained his PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. His research interests lie at the intersection of engineering and operations/management science. In particular he is interested in developing techniques, models and algorithms for economic analysis of engineering systems.
