Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSai Hari is a research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory with nine years of experience building and deploying optimization models for infrastructure networks, UAV routing and scheduling, vehicle localization, and microgrid design. He develops scalable formulations for challenging MILP/MIQCQP/NLP problems and implements high-performance solvers and reduced-order physical models in Julia, C++, Python, and MATLAB. His work includes reducing computation times from days to seconds for UAV route planning and solving transient natural gas network control for 1000-junction systems within minutes on a laptop. Sai blends rigorous PhD-level theory with practical engineering—designing convex models that avoid combinatorial pitfalls and distributed schemes that capture multi-timescale behavior. Based in the Albuquerque–Santa Fe area, he brings a track record of peer-reviewed robotics and control publications and repeat fellowships to applied optimization for safety-critical systems.
