CASTLE Research
Our center was founded in 1995 to explore the complex industrial systems and supporting software that keep society moving. Through research involving modeling, optimization, scheduling, process planning, reliability, human factors, data mining and transportation logistics, we can help make design, manufacturing processes, and transportation systems better, faster, and safer.
Interdisciplinary Research
As an interdisciplinary research center, the Center for Advanced Systems and Transportation Logistics Engineering (CASTLE) draws on the expertise of engineering faculty from three disciplines: electrical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, and mechanical Engineering. Our collaborative approach allows us to identify and work in overlapping areas and develop team-building qualities in our graduate students that are rarely found in individual specialties. This interaction strengthens our understanding of the complex systems we study and the breadth of applications we can affect with our work.
