Complex challenging decisions: delivering to customers while balancing timeliness and environmental cost; regulating peer-to-peer markets while fostering infrastructure investment; transitioning to electric mobility while ensuring fairness in the uncertain future. The STAR Lab team researches how technology – information and computation – can help people make better decisions in these kinds of complex situations.
