Research Projects
 Natural Language Processing of Online Game Reviews to identify Genre Specific Game Elements which impact
performance (Dr.Conrad Tucker)
 Optimization of Truck Scheduling of Cross Docking in order to optimize Labor Costs(Dr.Terry Harrison, Smeal College of
Business): The state of the art does not consider the interlinks between Dock Door Assignment and Truck Scheduling
and considers them as separate sub problems. This project successfully combined the two sub problems to develop an
overall optimal solution.
 Demand Forecasting of Bikes Using Regression and Data Mining (Kaggle Competition): Top 20 percentile with mean
logarithmic error 0.57.
 Design of Supply Chain Distribution Network for multi-echelon Retailer system.(Dr. Ravi Ravindran)
