Human perception and cognition | Memory, attention, foveal and peripheral vision, decision making, human performance modeling |
Operations Research & Analytics
| Major Topics | Example Methodologies |
Deterministic optimization | Linear and non-linear programming, simplex method, convex and non-convex optimization, network optimization |
Probabilistic decision-making | Stochastic processes, queueing theory, Markov chains, Markov decision processes |
Modeling and simulation | Analyzing stochastic systems using Monte Carlo methods, distribution modeling, discrete event simulation |
Information & Intelligent Automation
| Major Topics | Example Methodologies |
Data generation and collection | Data pipelines, feature engineering, clustering and classification |
Data storage | Relational databases, SQL, cloud-based engineering, querying |
