The current focus of my research is Probability based approaches applied in multiple response surface optimization. When multiple quality characteristics are considered in the design or improvement of a system, any approach should account for the quality of the solutions, compromises among responses and also correlations between responses. Probability based modeling and optimization approaches, a new trend for researchers, provide intuitive and statistically sound methods to practitioners.
