Brief Bio:
Anna Nagurney is
the John
F. Smith Memorial Professor in the Department of Finance
and Operations
Management in the Isenberg
School of

Amherst. She is also an Affiliated Faculty Member in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at UMass Amherst. She is the first female to be appointed to a named
Professorship in the University of Massachusetts system. She is
the Founding Director of the Virtual Center
for Supernetworks and the Supernetworks Laboratory
for Computation and
Visualization at UMass Amherst. She received her AB, ScB, ScM, and
PhD
degrees from Brown
University in Providence, Rhode Island. She devotes her career to
education
and research that combines operations research/management science,
economics, and engineering. Her
focus is the applied and theoretical aspects of decision-making on
network systems,
particularly
in the areas of transportation and logistics, energy and the
environment, and economics and finance.
Her most recent book, with Q. Qiang, is Fragile Networks: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Synergies in an Uncertain World, published by Wiley in July 2009. She is also the author of Supply Chain Network Economics: Dynamic of Prices, Flows, and Profits, published in July 2006. She has
