David P. Morton

Dr. Morton specializes in stochastic and large-scale optimization. His research interests include developing and analyzing algorithms designed to solve mathematical optimization models that explicitly incorporate uncertainty. He has served on the Cockrell School of Engineering faculty since 1995 and has published numerous technical articles and reports. In 2002 Dr. Morton visited Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, as a Fulbright Scholar to conduct research in the Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics. He received an Engineering Foundation Faculty Excellence Award from the UT Cockrell School of Engineering in 2001. In 1997 he received two citations: National Science Foundation PECASE Award and the Rist Prize from the Military Operations Research Society. Dr. Morton was a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow (1993-94), recipient of the George E. Nicholson Prize, and was a finalist for the George B. Dantzig Dissertation Award, both sponsored by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences in 1994. In 1986 he received the Emmett Ashcraft Award in Mathematics from Stetson University.
