Professor emeritus of operations research at Stanford University.
Dr. Hillier is especially known for his classic, award-winning
text, Introduction to Operations Research, co-authored with the
late Gerald J. Lieberman, which has been translated into well over
a dozen languages and is currently in its 8th edition. The 6th
edition won honorable mention for the 1995 Lanchester Prize (best
English-language publication of any kind in the field) and Dr.
Hillier also was awarded the 2004 INFORMS Expository Writing Award
for the 8th edition. His other books include The Evaluation of
Risky Interrelated Investments, Queueing Tables and Graphs,
Introduction to Stochastic Models in Operations Research, and
Introduction to Mathematical Programming. He received his BS in
industrial engineering and doctorate specializing in operations
research and management science from Stanford University. The
winner of many awards in high school and college for writing,
mathematics, debate, and music, he ranked first in his
undergraduate engineering class and was awarded three national
fellowships (National Science Foundation, Tau Beta Pi, and
Danforth) for graduate study. Dr. Hilliers research has extended
into a variety of areas, including integer programming, queueing
theory and its application, statistical quality control, and
production and operations management. He also has won a major prize
for research in capital budgeting.
Associate professor of quantitative methods at the School of
Business at the University of Washington. Dr. Hillier received his
BS in engineering (plus a concentration in computer science) from
Swarthmore College, and he received his MS with distinction in
operations research and PhD in industrial engineering and
engineering management from Stanford University. As an
undergraduate, he won the McCabe Award for ranking first in his
engineering class, won election to Phi Beta Kappa based on his work
in mathematics, set school records on the mens swim team, and was
awarded two national fellowships (National Science Foundation and
Tau Beta Pi) for graduate study. During that time, he also
developed a comprehensive software tutorial package, OR Courseware,
for the Hillier-Lieberman textbook, Introduction to Operations
Research. As a graduate student, he taught a PhD-level seminar in
operations management at Stanford and won a national prize for work
based on his PhD dissertation. At the University of Washington, he
currently teaches courses in management science and spreadsheet
modeling.
