The Club would like to welcome our faculty speaker, Dr. Patrick Reed.

The management modeling tools developed by the Reed Research Group combine multiobjective optimization, high performance computing, and advanced spatiotemporal visualization and uncertainty modeling techniques. Engineering design and decision support software developed by Dr. Reed is being used broadly in academic, governmental, and industrial application areas with more than 30,000 users globally.
As part of our annual meeting we will vote on this year’s new Board Directors and Officers.
