I am a PhD candidate at the Information
Systems Laboratory in the
Department of Electrical
Engineering at
Stanford University. I will be
graduating this year and will be joining the faculty in the Division of
Decision, Risk, and Operations at Columbia Business
School starting in 2010.
My research interests are in modeling complex stochastic systems,
dynamic optimization, scheduling
and queueuing. My earlier work has focused on problems related to packet scheduling for multimedia transmission over wireless networks.
I have recently become interested in problems related to health-care operations management.
I did my undergraduate studies
at MIT.

Work in Progress
C. W. Chan, N. Bambos. "Efficiency of Greedy Schedules for Processing of Jobs with Decaying Value".
Investigation of the 'efficiency gap' between greedy and optimal stochastic scheduling policies of jobs
with values that decay over time; applications in patient
scheduling, where delays cause deterioration in patient health and also result in reduced
bene t from treatment.
C. W. Chan, N. Bambos. "On Stability of Queues with Delay-Dependent Job Processing
Times". Investigation of sample-path dynamics of queueing systems, where job service
times depend on job waiting times; analysis and characterization of the various stability
modes; applications in health-care management, where delays cause deterioration in
patient health and, subsequently, the patient requires increased time for hospitalization
and treatment.
