Dr. Alice Smith, Joe W. Forehand, Jr. Distinguished Professor, recently traveled to Chile as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer to deliver keynote talks at two prestigious conferences:
LACORO in Rancagua, Chile
EVIC in Concepción, Chile, hosted at the Universidad de Concepción
Her talks explored cutting-edge topics:
LACORO: Innovative Uses of Drones for Logistics in Healthcare and Production – Highlighting how drones can transform supply chains, from rural healthcare delivery to indoor assembly lines, with a mix of mathematical modeling, simulation, and physical trials.
EVIC: Decision Science Inspired by Nature – Exploring computational models like artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms, inspired by natural systems, to optimize decision-making in dynamic environments.
Smith also connected with experts from around the world, including Dr. Sebastián Maldonado from the University of Chile.
