Ph.D. in industrial engineering, Kansas State University; Masters in operations research, Kansas State University; B.S. in mathematics, University of Nebraska
Luke Muggy is an operations researcher with a wide breadth of skills and experiences. Muggy has a Ph.D. in industrial engineering focusing on humanitarian logistics systems. His dissertation applies optimization and game theory to model decentralized systems of response agencies which establish supply chains and beneficiaries who access them. At RAND, Muggy has built simulation models of Army logistics systems. He has helped the Army compute the time required to issue and move equipment, identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies within processes. He has also helped the Kenyan Defense Forces improve inventory and supply chain management. For the Air Force, Muggy modeled and optimized the flow of crewman between career fields in order to assist manpower experts to forecast personnel shortages. Finally, Muggy has assisted the Marine Corps. through a simulation that forecasts the demand and cost of replacing ballistic glass in their fleet of vehicles. Recently, Muggy became a Professional Cost Estimation Analyst (PCEA). This certification allows him to work full-time in Puerto Rico analyzing FEMA's cost estimates for reconstruction projects. This work will ensure that the Puerto Rico government may rebuild effectively and in a manner that is fair to U.S. tax payers.
