Jim Wilson

Professor Emeritus

James Wilson has been a member of the Industrial and Systems Engineering faculty at North Carolina State University since 1991. He served as head of the department from 1999 to 2007.

 

Research Interests

Jim Wilson’s research interests include probabilistic and statistical issues in the design and analysis of large-scale simulation experiments, including: modeling, estimation, and generation of stochastic input processes; analysis of output processes; improving simulation efficiency using variance reduction techniques; optimization using multiple-comparison and search procedures; and applying all these techniques to the analysis of production systems.
