Linda Nozick has been reappointed as Director of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2022. She has served as Director of CEE since 2015, and she was previously the Director of Cornell’s Systems Engineering program, which she co-founded in 1999.
Linda's expertise is in the development of mathematical models for managing complex systems and with a particular interest in systems that can be represented mathematically as networks, including transportation and logistics systems, civil infrastructure networks and project networks. Her research has been recognized with a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation, a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from President Clinton, and recognition awards from Sandia National Laboratories and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
She has been an associate editor for Naval Research Logistics and a member of the editorial board of Transportation Research Part A. She has also served on two National Academy Committees to advise the U.S. Department of Energy on renewal of their infrastructure. In 2011, she was appointed to the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board by President Obama, and she was reappointed in 2014. Dr. Nozick holds a B.S. in Systems Analysis and Engineering from the George Washington University and a M.S.E and Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
