It is public knowledge that I have been overworked and underpaid over the past nineteen years. I shall therefore not dwell on this sad story here.
In 2005 I managed to take a sabbatical leave for 4 months. It was a very wise and enjoyable thing to do!
Now that I have retired, I am on a long sabbatical "leave"! I plan to continue my research and other academic activities.
I'll consider any reasonable proposal, especially from individuals and/or organisations in Australia and the local neighbourhood.
In addition to teaching and research in the areas of my expertise, other possibilities for my sabbatical are:
- I'll be delighted to establish contacts with OR persons who are interested in developing teaching material for the World Wide Web and I shall be happy to give workshops/courses on this topic and develop web modules to suit you special needs.
- With regard to my work on Composite Concave Programming, I am interested in collaborating with LP/QP software developers on the development of commercial Composite Concave Linear Programming software.
- My favourite research area is still Dynamic Programming. I shall be delighted to share my expertise with analysts interested in the modelling aspects of DP and in particular in the relationship between DP, branch and bound and constraint programming. I am also interested in the development of user friendly, commercial, (almost) general-purpose DP software.
- I have recently initiated a campaign to promote the use of Worst-Case Analysis and Wald's Maximin Principle in decision making under severe uncertainty. If you are interested in decision making under strict uncertainty you might be interested in joining this campaign.
Note that an extended visit to your place will put your place on the world-map!
