Donna L. Gresh

I am a member of the Mathematical Sciences Department at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Laboratory in Yorktown Heights, NY. I am currently working on applying optimization techniques to problems in workforce management. For example, we are interested in matching groups of people to open job requests, to reduce manual effort and prioritize matches based on business priorities. We are also using text analytics to analyze the content of of "open seat requests" and resumes to find matches which might be overlooked using a strict match of request to an employee's job role.

Some of the projects I've worked on in the past are visualization projects involving medical records data, protein simulations, foreign currency exchange options, heart simulation and measurement data, and the development of tools to facilitate combinations of different visualization techniques in a single application. I was part of the IBM Visualization Data Explorer development group for 9 years before Data Explorer became an open source product. I have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University (1990); my dissertation concerned the properties of the Uranian rings as inferred from Voyager 2 radio occultation measurements.
