Cooperative bio-inspired Optimization:
Using the process via which ants optimize their trails when
traversing previously unknown terrain, we are exploring a
progression of optimal control problems involving a collection of
control systems which are attempting to discover optimal
trajectories via pair-wise cooperation among neighboring agents.

Optimization of Tax Policies:
This work is aimed at developing MDP-based models of the process via
which economic agents (e.g. small businesses or corporations) make
tax-related decisions, including whether or not to keep from
disclosing income, where conditions allow. The goal is to arrive at
a set of tools for evaluating tax policy and for examining the
effects of proposed changes in the tax code, before they are
adopted.

Economy & Environment: As
concerns over global warming, pollution and resource usage keep
mounting, the economy's environmental footprint is becoming an
increasingly important consideration. The goal of this work is to
examine a series of optimization problems which connect economic
production, pollution, energy, and economic growth, and to develop
computational decision-making tools which are informed by empirical
data. [In cooperation with NCSR Demokritos and Demokritos

Detection and Evaluation of Parkinson's
Disease in Drawing patterns: The goal of this work is to
produce metrics for measuring the presence or progress of
Parkinson's disease based on hand-drawing patterns measured via
writing pads and/or accelerometers.[In cooperation with Aristotle
University]
