Experience

Dr. Stevens is a technical lead on the AMP project, which is a distributed integration platform for U.S. TRANSCOM transportation simulations and models (since 2001).

Dr. Stevens worked on the NetFOCI project, which was a seedling effort with DARPA ATO to assess the impact of policy to manage ad-hoc network behaviors.

Dr. Stevens worked on the analysis and development of the genetic algorithm scheduler for the Unit Level Planning and Scheduling (ULPS) project.

As an Assistant Professor at WPI, Dr. Stevens (formerly Dr. Rana), taught undergraduate and graduate level Compilers courses.

While working on her graduate degrees, Dr. Stevens was an Instructor at CSU for two courses: Introduction to Programming with C++, and Data Structures in Java. As a research assistant and fellowship student, her responsibilities included:

• Developing algorithms and heuristics for a warehouse scheduler for filling orders at the Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado.
• Applying genetic algorithm search techniques to optimize the use of resources at a pulp mill for Noranda Corporation.
• Developing algorithms to solve several seismic data processing problems for Advance Geophysical.
