Congratulations to Eunshin Byon for her promotion to associate professor with tenure of the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering!

Professor Byon joined the facuty in 2011 after earning her Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in 2010.

Dr. Byon’s research interests include reliability evaluation, fault diagnosis/condition monitoring, predictive modeling and data analytics, and operations and maintenance decision-making for stochastic systems. Her recent research focuses on uncertainty quantification of stochastic systems using stochastic simulations, reliability analysis and improvement of large-scale, interconnected systems with applications to renewable power power systems and manufacturing processes. She is a member of IIE, INFORMS, and IEEE.
