Biographical Information
My intellectual interest is in a broad field known as Building Data-Driven Decision Support Systems, that is, the well-focused consecutive thought process based on measurable and numerical scales to improve strategic decisions in the design, operation, and controlling complex man-made systems, such as an airport.I received my higher-education degrees, all concentrated on modeling, from three different continents. My first degree is in Physics, which deals with the modeling of nature; the second is in Management Science, which consists of modeling human activities in general. Finally, my doctoral degree is in General Operations Research, which covers all aspects of modeling in every scientific field of studies.
The growing trends in interventional managerial decision-making increasingly utilize applications of more than one technique and involve individuals from other disciplines. Moreover, they involve a blend of"hard" and "soft" as well as a mixing of different "hard" or"soft" techniques with the increasing use of multiple methods within one piece of analysis. A creative thinking must look in detail at how those from disciplines outside of Operations Research can come to work in the organizations on multi-disciplinary studies. Those who have come from such backgrounds, clearly share their perspectives and experiences.
The decision making framework and tools often combine optimization theory, discrete event simulation, and probability and statistics. For, example during recent years, competitive pressures and short product lifecycles have caused many manufacturing and retail companies to focus on supply chain management practices and applications. Continuing shifts in the geopolitical situation and emerging markets have opened up new business opportunities, and at the same time kept companies busy revising their supply chain structures, manufacturing locations, warehouse locations, inbound logistics, and distribution operations. This has led to an increased demand in strategic supply chain planning tools, such as supply chain simulators and location optimization tools.
My teaching, research, and professional services activities are multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary which include: General Optimization, Systems Simulation, and Statistical Data Analysis. My journal publications on the above topics, show consistency without any gaps, not even a single year, since 1983; the year I joined the University of Baltimore and completion of my post-doctoral studies. As for my teaching ability, I am well known for teaching difficult concepts at appropriate levels that can be understood by my students. My ability in humanizing the complex conceptual topics enables me to convey them in a clear simple language, therefore, become transparent for my students in an understandable way. My cardinal aim in constructing model-based decision support systems is to provide models for the managers which are easy to understand, easy to use, while providing useful managerial information.
As you know it well, the primary functions of universities are the transfer of useful knowledge and advancement of knowledge. The effective and widely used performance measure of any significant advancement of knowledge has been number of citations in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary areas. The citations of significant research contributions in journals citations are the indication of advancement of knowledge and their impact on transfer of knowledge are the textbooks citations.

My cardinal ability to humanize the technical and often difficult concepts is always appreciated by my students. Recently I have received the following report from my dean:
Dr. Arsham,- ....I met with a class of graduate students to solicit feedback from them about the School and their education here. I didn't ask them to name names, but one student wished out loud that all Merrick School professors might be as great as Dr. Arsham in the classroom. That comment was heartwarming, and I really appreciate all the effort and positive results you bring to all of us.
The following letter sent to the administrators:
Dear Dean,
- As an engineer pursuing my MBA, I found Dr. Arsham's course on Business Statistics to be the most useful course I've taken to date at UB in bridging the gap between the technical world and that of the managerial. Dr. Arsham is able to bring numbers and statistics alive and give them meaning. As an instructor he is both disciplined and understanding of student needs. While he is uncompromising in his method of teaching and rigorous in his treatment of the material, he is also most forgiving as I grew as a student under his tutelage. In past courses I have never had difficulties with mathematics such as calculus or differential equations, but statistics and probability courses have always vexed me. For the first time in my life, Dr. Arsham has enabled me to grasp the elusive meaning and mechanics of statistical analysis. At this point I can honestly say that a well-founded knowledge of basic statistics may be the most important class a business student should consider taking. I HIGHLY recommend his course to any serious student who really wants to know how to analyze and understand statistics.
Sincerely,

Professional Honors:
"Hossein Arsham, Harry Wright Distinguished Research Professor of Statistics and Management Science at the University of Baltimore. Arsham has amassed an outstanding record of publication. Most notably, he has done pioneering work that has enabled businesses to find 'exact' or desirable' solutions to problems with efficiency and enhanced speed in 'a single simulation run'. Since he joined the UB faculty, he has published more than 70 refereed articles and chapters on a host of topics in computational probability and statistics. During the last three years, he has published 28 journal articles and book chapters on discrete-event systems simulation, optimization with sensitivity analysis, and computational probability and statistics. His work has been cited in at least five books and at least 12 journal articles/book chapters. Arsham is currently the principal associate editor of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, the official journal of the International Association of Statistical Computing, a section of the International Statistics Institute (one of the oldest scientific societies in the world); he has been an associate editor for the journal since 1989. Since 1997, he has been an associate editor of the Journal of Statistical Reasoning and an editor of both InterStat: Statistics on the Internet and the Journal of Interdisciplinary Mathematics. Arsham's accomplishments in research and scholarship have led to his selection for the Black and Decker Corporation Research Award for contributions to simulation and optimization. Additionally, he has been named a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, a Fellow of the Operational Research Society, and a Fellow of the Institute of Combinatorics and Its Applications. "
".....Dr. Arsham has expanded the traditional boundaries set for faculty members. On the research side, recognized by this latest honor; Dr. Arsham's works number easily in the hundreds with representation in a number of separate areas within Operations Research.Dr. Arsham's teaching record is also stellar, with many letters, e-mails and other communications of praise from students whose lives he touched with his ability and desire to educate.
Dr. Arsham's drive to pursue excellence in all areas also manifests itself in his self-designed web courses, which he has shared as a model with other faculty members. The Merrick School simply would not be the school it is today, without the patient man we all know so well --- Dr. Hossein Arsham."
