Faculty Jeffrey P. Kharoufeh - Associate Professor
- Education: Ph.D. (Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, 2001): Pennsylvania State University
- Areas of Expertise: Applied Probability, Stochastic Processes, Stochastic Models in Operations Research
Professor Jeff Kharoufeh joined the IE faculty in 2008.
He completed his B.S. and M.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Ohio University and his Ph.D. in
Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at the Pennsylvania State University.
Prior to joining the IE faculty at the University of Pittsburgh, Professor Kharoufeh served as a faculty member
at the Air Force Institute of Technology and Northeastern University.
Dr. Kharoufeh is primarily interested in the application of probability and stochastic processes
for the design, performance evaluation, control and optimization of stochastic engineering and service systems.
His focus areas include queueing systems, reliability modeling and analysis, maintenance optimization, models
for computer and communication networks and transportation systems.
