The summer of 2011 saw a flurry of research undertaken on the Foggy Bottom campus by virtue of research grants to three outstanding doctoral students by the Logistics Management Institute.
Emmanuel Donkor (Advisor: Associate Professor Michael R. Duffey) conducted his research on the topic of “Optimal Capital Structure of Project Financed Infrastructure Investments: A Chance Constrained Formulation.”
Phil Schrader (Advisor: Professor Johan Rene Van Dorp) undertook his work on “Analysis of Cost Risk for the Growth Stage of the Production of Algal Biofuels.”
Iryna Payosova (Advisor: Professor Jonathan P. Deason) conducted her research on the topic of “Net Zero Water and Energy-Efficient Water Supply in an Urban Setting.”
All of the projects were completed successfully and received high marks from LMI. On October 4, 2011, all three of the LMI Fellows presented the results of their research at the LMI headquarters in McLean, Virginia. About 60 LMI employees, including LMI President and Chief Executive Officer Nelson M. Ford, attended the presentations in person or via conference telephone.
