This paper studies a model for risk aversion when designing a flexible capacity expansion plan for a multi-facility system. In this setting, the decision maker can dynamically expand the capacity of each facility given observations of uncertain demand. We model this situation as a multi-stage stochastic programming problem, and we express risk aver...
Conversion of semi-natural habitats, such as hedgerows, to farmland could increase agricultural productivity by 6% and potentially reduce biodiversity by up to 66% depending on land use type, according to survey-based estimates across ten European regions.

While more and more cities are planning towards sustainable development and climate resilience, a thorough understanding of the spatiotemporal pattern of building energy demand can be valuable for evidence-based city design and climate change mitigation. Energy demand in buildings is heavily influenced by its surrounding built and climatic environm...

We introduce a general model for suppliers competing for a buyer’s procurement business. The buyer faces uncertain demand, and there is a requirement to reserve capacity in advance of knowing the demand. Each supplier has costs that are two-dimensional, with some capacity costs incurred prior to production and some production costs incurred at the ...
Electric Vehicle (EV) technologies offer a leading-edge solution for clean transportation and have evolved substantially in recent years. The growing market and policies of governments predict EV massive penetration shortly; however, their large deployment faces some resistances such as the high prices compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) c...
