h4. Research Domain:
transportation
h4. Research Methodology:
decision under uncertainty
h4. Research Description:
Maite's research focuses on s{color:#333333}trategic planning of complex socio-technical systems such as transportation systems. In particular, she is doing research about capacity planning in shared railway corridors at the intersection of the decision making under uncertainty, the industrial organization and the public policy fields.{color}
