Evaluating technology upgrades as a complement to traditional bill assistance programs
State programs to improve energy affordability and reduce energy burden (the share of income spent on energy) could mitigate concerns about rising electricity prices. Many states offer bill assistance and rebates for weatherization and rooftop solar to income-qualifying household...

Reinforcement learning-based decision support for admission-time inpatient bed allocation
Hospital bed allocation affects patient waiting, bed turnover, discharge flow, and queue accumulation. First-come, first-served (FCFS) is transparent but does not account for congestion, queue composition, expected length of stay (LOS), or downstream turnover. This study develope...
