Uday Shanbhag received his Ph.D. in Operations Research from the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University in February, 2006. He also holds masters degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelors degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. His research interests lie in optimization theory and algorithms, equilibrium programming and stochastic optimization. He is also interested in algorithms for the solution of nonlinear facility location problems. His application interests lie in planning/operations in deregulated electricity markets, inventory control and communication networks. Uday consulted with Tabors, Caramanis and Associates, a Boston-based energy firm, between 1996 and 2000. He also worked at the American Express Centurion Bank in New York City, between 1998 and 2000.
