Over his career Mehrotra has made seminal contributions to Operations Research. A method he

developed for linear optimization is known as “Mehrotra” predictor-corrector method. His health care

management and policy research has used and developed techniques in data sciences to provide data-

driven answers to questions in health care policy and operations management. He is highly regarded for

his methodology research in the Optimization community, and policy research in the Organ

Transplantation community. He was inducted as a Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and

Management Sciences in 2016 for his contributions to the field of Operations Research.

Director (2012 – current), Center for Engineering and Health This is a major under taking promoting collaboration between McCormick School of Engineering and

Feinberg School of Medicine. The center has promoted numerous projects resulting in many federal and

non-federal grants since its inception in 2012. The center has industrial and systems engineering,

computer science, and electrical engineering expertise that allows it to conduct data science and smart

device research, and also facilitate design and development of such devices. The faculty engaged with the

center has received grants from NSF, NIH, and AHRQ. Further information on the center is available at
