Areas of Research
Professor Aleman's research interests are focused on optimization of
the delivery of healthcare services; most recently, she has focused on
developing methods for optimizing intensity modulated radiation therapy
to destroy tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
Optimization in radiation therapy treatment planning, medical
applications of operations research; Global and nonlinear optimization
methods.
