Dr. Krenek’s research interests lie at the interface of deterministic/stochastic operations research and advanced probability/statistics, with the aim of improving processes and systems. Dr. Krenek is especially interested in filling the research gaps by developing novel process improvement methods and by challenging fundamental assumptions in quality engineering. His research efforts are being expanded into complex manufacturing systems, pharmaceutical formations, and healthcare, particularly in personalized medicine. Dr. Krenek also has a keen interest in engineering education.
