Speaker: Dr. Billy Wang (Manager, Operations Research at American Airlines)
Title: “An overview of Advanced Analytics at American Airlines”

Abstract: From schedule design, to crew pairing, to daily operation, the Airline industry is arguably one of the sectors that have the most complex business processes, and by definition, has many exciting opportunities for the use of Operations Research and Advanced Analytics techniques.  In this talk, Dr.Wang will provide a quick introduction about American Airlines. He will then go over the tools and platforms currently available at AA in the Data Science space, and highlight a few mission-critical models and applications implemented at the airline that leverage advanced modelling techniques. 

The Applied Mathematics in Industry Seminar (AMIS) series is primarily focused on highlighting how mathematics is used in various different careers and is geared toward undergraduates. Seminars typically require little or no advanced mathematical knowledge and are open to anyone.

This seminar will be held virtually.
