Who's Who: Dr. George B. Dantzig
Knowledge and Specializations
Optimization Knowledge:
Operations Research Pioneer. "Father" of Linear Programming. Consulting Specialist on Planning Under Uncertainty.
Book:
Linear Programming 1: Introduction
by George B. Danzig and Mukund N. Thapa. Springer Publisher.
Citation:
"George Bernard Dantzig received the National Medal of Science for inventing linear programming and discovering methods that led to wide scale scientific and technical applications to important problems in logistics, scheduling, and network scheduling optimization and the use of computers in making efficient use of mathematical theory."

Logistics
Network Scheduling
Scheduling
General
George Dantzig received his doctorate in mathematics from Berkeley. His thesis was on the solution of two well known unsolved problems in mathematical statistics which he had mistakenly thought was a homework assignment.
During WW2, he served as Chief of Combat Analysis Branch of USAF Hq. where he became an expert on large-scale scheduling using hand computation methods. From 1946 to 1952, he served as Mathematical Advisor to USAF Hq. where he pioneered the development of mathematical programming methods using electronic computers.
In 1952, he joined RAND in Santa Monica (CA), where he continued his research on linear programming. He became a Professor at Berkeley in 1960 and served as Chairman of the Operation Research Center.
In 1996, he joined Stanford as Professor of Operations Research and Computer Science where he founded the System Optimization Center.
Retired from Stanford in 1997, he is now active doing research and consulting on Planning Under Uncertainty.
