Margaret M. Wiecek
Margaret M. Wiecek is Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Clemson University in South Carolina, USA. She obtained an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1979 and a Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering in 1984 from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland. She has been at Clemson University since 1988. In the period 2009-2014 she held joint professorship with the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Her research area includes theory, methodology, and applications of mathematical programming with special interest in multiobjective optimization and decision-making, and applications in the area of engineering design. She has proposed exact and approximation solution methods for some classes of multiobjective programs (MOPs); decomposition and coordination methods for complex MOPs; cone-based models of preferences; approaches to decision- making under uncertainty which employed multiobjective optimization as a tool resolving uncertainty. Part of her work has been interdisciplinary since she introduced new multiobjective optimization concepts and methods into engineering optimization to enrich the field of automotive and structural design. She has published sixty six articles in peer-refereed journals, five book chapters, and fifty four papers in reviewed conference proceedings. She has advised nine doctoral students, 39 Master’s students, and four postdoctoral scholars. She has served as a reviewer for the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States and for the "Agence Nationale de la Recherche" (ANR) in France.
She has been a Sofia Kovalevskaia Visiting Professor and a Mercator Visiting Professor at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany, and a visiting professor at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. She has also collaborated with colleagues at the University of Paris- Dauphine, the University of Nantes, and Blaise Pascal University in France, the University of Malaga in Spain, and the University of Auckland in New Zealand. In the United States, her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the National Automotive Research Center, and the National Institute of Science and Technology. In Germany, her visiting positions have been funded by the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and the Government of Rheinland-Pfalz. In Finland, her research has been funded by the Forestcluster, Ltd.
She is on the editorial boards of the International Journal of Multicriteria Decision Making and Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services. She is also a member of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science, and the Multiple Criteria Decision Making Society.
