Jeremy Eckhause is a senior operations researcher at RAND and research quality assurance manager within the RAND Homeland Security Research Division (HSRD). He has 25 years' experience developing novel applications of operations research to a variety of applications of interest for transportation, government, and defense agencies and services.  He supports and leads projects within the HSRD and the Arroyo Center, as well as for Project AIR FORCE, the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), and RAND Education, Employment, and Infrastructure (EEI). His focus areas include resource and personnel optimization, transportation modeling and analysis, supply chain analysis and logistics, R&D portfolio analysis and optimization, and public-sector investment under technological uncertainty.

He has produced original research that has been published in peer-reviewed journals, such as Annals of Operations Research, Energy Policy, IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, and Military Operations Research, and has presented at numerous conferences. He has been an invited lecturer at the IFP Graduate School in France and the German Institute of Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin.

Eckhause holds a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, an M.S.E. in operations research from Princeton University, and a B.A. in mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania.
