Hi! I am Rahul Kakodkar, a decision scientist in search of ways to hedge against the risk posed by uncertainty. In doing so, I hope to design systems that are economically, environmentally, and socially resilient.

I package my frameworks as open-source tools,

and even write about them.

If you like what you see, connect with me!

inFrequently Asked Questions (inFAQs) are questions nobody asked me;
I answer them anyway.

Rahul Kakodkar - 2025-11-15 > What's your research about? Phenomena occur at different rates. In data-driven optimization, real-life events are sampled to generate information that informs decision-making. Further, there could be interactions between these spatiotemporally disparate events. Models that are inclusive of constraints that bind decisions

Rahul Kakodkar - 2025-11-16 > Why is buying and selling apples hard? Non-linearity is when a relation between two aspects of a system does not does not scale 1: some real number. Take the example of buying apples. A grocer will charge you a price x for each apple. The amount you pay for apples is a calculation based on the number of apples you purchase, a decision,

Here are some products that I'm actively developing.

A decision-making tool for the multiscale modeling and optimization of systems under uncertainty.

It has been applied towards the design of future energy systems, carbon accounting and life cycle analysis, robust scheduling, modeling reverse material chains.

An algebraic modeling language (AML) that formulates multiparametric mixed integer linear programs & subsets of the problem class.

Modeling elements are mutable, allows constraints to be updated. Formulations
can be output as .mps files and passed to solvers. Programs are displayed in set notation.

I like to talk about my work, and learn about what other scientists are researching. So reach out to me!
