Linda K. Nozick

Linda K. Nozick is a Professor in the Department of CE at Cornell University. Her research focuses on the quantitative modeling of risk, resilience, and complex infrastructure systems, integrating systems engineering, game theory, stochastic optimization, and risk analysis to improve decision-making under uncertainty in transportation, energy, and other interdependent networks. A unifying theme of her work is understanding how resilience investments and insurance can contribute to system robustness.

Professor Linda Nozick specializes in Transportation Systems Engineering, Operations Research, and related fields. Her research focuses on optimizing transportation planning, inventory management, and disaster response strategies. She has published extensively on topics such as distribution center location, hazardous materials transportation, and post-disaster power restoration. Her work integrates operations research techniques with real-world challenges, including hurricane evacuation modeling and seismic risk mitigation. Nozick's research emphasizes robust optimization, multiobjective path finding, and interdependent infrastructure performance assessment. Her contributions highlight the intersection of logistics, risk analysis, and decision support systems in complex transportation networks.
