Geographic experiments are a widely-used methodology for measuring incremental return on ad spend (iROAS) at scale, yet their design presents significant challenges. The unit count is small, heterogeneity is large, and the optimal Supergeo…

The issue of determining not only an adequate dose but also a dosing frequency of a drug arises frequently in Phase II clinical trials. This results in the comparison of models which have some parameters in common. Planning such studies…

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows for the design of customized, highly-conformal treatments for cancer patients. Creating IMRT treatment plans, however, is a mathematically complex process, which is often tackled in…

Recently, there has been a growing interest in distributionally robust optimization (DRO) as a principled approach to data-driven decision making. In this paper, we consider a distributionally robust two-stage stochastic optimization…

Problem Definition: Managing inpatient flow in large hospital systems is challenging due to the complexity of assigning randomly arriving patients -- either waiting for primary units or being overflowed to alternative units. Current…

If explicit, formal consideration of clinical pharmacology at all informs the design and conduct of modern oncology dose-finding trials, the designs themselves hardly attest to this. Yet in conducting a trial, investigators affirm that they…

Optimization is becoming increasingly common in scientific and engineering domains. Oftentimes, these problems involve various levels of stochasticity or uncertainty in generating proposed solutions. Therefore, optimization in these…

In therapeutic design, balancing various physiochemical properties is crucial for molecule development, similar to how Multiparameter Optimization (MPO) evaluates multiple variables to meet a primary goal. While many molecular features can…

Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) has revolutionized drug discovery by enabling the rational design of molecules for specific protein targets. Despite significant advancements in improving docking scores, advanced 3D-SBDD generative models…

Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) is crucial for identifying bioactive molecules. Recent deep generative models are faced with challenges in geometric structure modeling. A major bottleneck lies in the twisted probability path of…

Nowadays, more and more clinical trials choose combinational agents as the intervention to achieve better therapeutic responses. However, dose-finding for combinational agents is much more complicated than single agent as the full order of…

Aims: Combinations of treatments can offer additional benefit over the treatments individually. However, trials of these combinations are lower priority than the development of novel therapies, which can restrict funding, timelines and…

3D computer-assisted corrective osteotomy has become the state-of-the-art for surgical treatment of complex bone deformities. Despite available technologies, the automatic generation of clinically acceptable, ready-to-use preoperative…

Motivated by energy management for micro-grids, we study convex optimization problems with uncertainty in the objective function and sequential decision making. To solve these problems, we propose a new framework called ``Online…

Bayesian Optimization (BO) is an efficient tool for optimizing black-box functions, but its theoretical guarantees typically hold in the asymptotic regime. In many critical real-world applications such as drug discovery or materials design,…

Early stage drug discovery and molecular design projects often follow iterative design-make-test cycles. The selection of which compounds to synthesize from all possible candidate compounds is a complex decision inherent to these design…

In the first stage of a two-stage study, the researcher uses a statistical model to impute the unobserved exposures. In the second stage, imputed exposures serve as covariates in epidemiological models. Imputation error in the first stage…

Structure-based drug design has been accelerated by pocket-aware 3D generative models, yet most methods primarily fit the training distribution and may fall short of satisfying multiple properties required in real-world therapeutic drug…

We propose a two-stage design for a clinical trial with an early stopping rule for safety. We use different criteria to assess early stopping and efficacy. The early stopping rule is based on a criteria that can be determined more quickly…

Adaptive designs are increasingly used in clinical trials and online experiments to improve participant outcomes by dynamically updating treatment allocation as data accumulate. In practice, experimenters often consider multiple candidate…
