Richard M. Feldman

Educational Background

Dr. Rich Feldman specializes in simulation, applied probability and operations research. Some of his recent research involves simulation, queueing analysis and software development for biological models. He teaches the operations research courses, stochastic processes, simulation and queueing theory. For teaching simulation, he uses Simio simulation software under a grant from Simio LLC.
