Could we employ the queueing theory to improve efficiency during future mass causality incidents? [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2019 Background Preparation for a disaster or accident-related mass casualty events is often based on experience. The objective measures or tools for evaluating decision-making and effectiveness during such events are underdeveloped.

Operations Research, 2015 We propose an alternative approach for studying queues based on robust optimization. We model the uncertainty in the arrivals and services via polyhedral uncertainty sets, which are inspired from the limit laws of probability. Using the generalized central limit theorem, this framework allows us to model heavy-tailed behavior characterized by bursts of
