Dr. Jacobson教授的研究專注於運用作業研究和基於優化的人工智慧解決社會問題，特別是航空安全、兒科疫苗經濟學、肥胖與交通的關聯以及計算式選區劃分。他的工作為TSA Precheck©的設計奠定了基礎。他因其貢獻獲得了多項榮譽，包括古根漢獎學金和INFORMS影響力獎，並且是多個科學與工程學會的會士。

About Speaker：Sheldon H. Jacobson is a Founder Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he also directs the Simulation and Optimization Laboratory and founded the Bed Time Research Institute. He holds appointments across multiple departments, including Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, and the College of Medicine. He earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mathematics from McGill University and his Ph.D. in Operations Research from Cornell University.

Professor Jacobson's seminal research applies operations research and optimization-based artificial intelligence to critical societal problems. He pioneered aviation security analytics, demonstrating how probabilistic models, optimization, and AI can enhance security systems. His work on multi-level passenger screening was a precursor to risk-based security, influencing the design of TSA Precheck©.

His contributions extend to pediatric vaccine formulary design, utilizing operations research for immunization, and bridging the link between obesity, transportation, and fuel consumption to inform non-medical obesity interventions. He also developed computational redistricting methods, using optimization-based AI to combat gerrymandering.

Recognized with numerous accolades, Professor Jacobson received a Guggenheim Fellowship (2003) and the INFORMS Impact Prize (2018). He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), and the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE).
