Experience
John Siirola received a BS in chemical engineering from Purdue University in 2000. During the same period, he was a co-op with Air Products and Chemicals in Allentown, PA, where he focused primarily on process simulation and computer-aided design, including the development of batch process scheduling, configuration management, and on-line data reconciliation applications. He went on to obtain his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2005. His research focused on developing agent-based methods for non-convex mixed-integer multi-objective optimization using distributed computer clusters. This approach integrates collections of deterministic optimization, stochastic search, and heuristic search algorithms with multiple, interchangeable problem formulations to efficiently identify complete Pareto optimal surfaces.
John joined Sandia as a Limited Term member of the Technical Staff in 2005. His research activities currently focus on the development of agent-based approaches for simulating and optimizing complex network systems with applications in logistics networks, infrastructure systems, and regional markets.
