He has published in several peer reviewed journals such as European Journal of Operational Research, Operations Research Letters, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Omega, and Computers & Operations Research.

Julia is a high-level general-purpose dynamic programming language, which is open source and easy to use. Due to its versatility, Julia has been downloaded over 4 million times since its inception and recent statistics show that the Julia community has registered over 2,400 Julia packages for community use. This rapid adoption of Julia shows that learning it is already one of the most sought-after skills by data scientists, in general. This hands-on workshop aims to explore basic DEA model building using Julia. By the end of the workshop, participants will be in a position to understand the basics of Julia, as well as be able to build various basic DEA models.

Content:

1. Introduction to Julia
