Congratulations to Cody Allen, Ph.D. and Matt Lubomirsky for having their paper "Risk Modeling of Gas Pipeline Availability" accepted into the prestigious Applied Mathematical Modelling journal! Cody and Matt theoretically solved the Pipeline Availability problem that has previously only been solvable using Monte Carlo techniques. The derived mathematical solution helps speed up studies of pipeline expansion scenarios for our customers. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3R3Fs9Q
