Eugene A. Feinberg is an American mathematician and distinguished professor of applied mathematics and statistics at Stony Brook University. He is noted for his work in probability theory, real analysis, and Markov decision processes.
Feinberg was born in Moscow, Russia in 1954. He received his masters degree in applied mathematics from the Russian University of Transport (MIIT). He completed his PhD thesis at Vilnius University in 1979 under Alexander Yushkevich [1] and held research and faculty positions at the from 1976 to 1988. [2] Feinberg immigrated to the United States in 1988, working as a visiting faculty member of Yale University's operations research group. In 1989, he joined Stony Brook University's faculty in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics department. [3]
Feinberg's research interests include applied probability and its applications to operations research, Markov decision processes, and industrial applications of operations research. His work includes the theory of MDPs and solutions to Kolmogorov's forward equations for jump Markov processes. He also contributed to real analysis by developing generalizations of Fatou's lemma and Berge's maximum theorem. Feinberg has also worked on applications including electric grid forecasting.
Feinberg was awarded an honorary Doctorate from the Institute of Applied System Analysis at the National Technical University of Ukraine.
Feinberg is a member of the INFORMS Fellows class of 2011, elected "for his fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of operations research in the areas of Markov decision processes and dynamic programming." [17]
He was among the recipients of the 2012 IBM Faculty Award. [18]
Feineberg received the IEEE Charles Hirsch Award in 2012 for "developing and implementing on Long Island, electric load forecasting methods and smart grid technologies." [19]
He is a member of the editorial boards of Mathematics of Operations Research, [20] Operations Research Letters, [21] Stochastic Models, [22] and Applied Mathematics Letters. [23]
