Our faculty are not content to trod well-worn engineering paths. Instead, they are driven to pursue innovations in teaching, research that address truly complex challenges, and to pursue worldwide leadership roles in their fields. See Also: Emeritus Faculty Directory.
Assistant Professor, Academic General Faculty, Teaching TrackDirector of Undergraduate Programs in Systems EngineeringDirector of Systems ME and VEO Programs
My research interest include integer programming and combinatorial optimization, healthcare systems engineering, applying lean enterprise to healthcare and manufacturing applications, optimization of disassembly and remanufacturing system, and game theory.
My research focuses on task sharing, attention management, and interruption management in complex environments that have included aviation, healthcare, military operations, and manufacturing. These work environments impose considerable and continually increasing attentional demands on…
Karina researches how tech workers think about "doing good" in the world. What does it mean to build technology "for the public good"? What kind of conditions are necessary for doing this work? What kinds of "doing good" gain salience, and which do not?
