I’m Luke, the current Impact Research Associate at the STOR-i Center for Doctoral Training at Lancaster University. My current research is grounded in the framework of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), which encapsulates a wide range of sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty. Specifically, we apply the MDP framework to the problem of maintaining systems with redundant components. Additionally, I’m interested in integrating such problems into the initial design of a system, so that strategic (one-off) decisions can be optimized alongside operational (day-to-day, sequential, stochastic) decisions. This research aims to bridge two parts of Operational Research that generally remain separate.
