Adrien Badré, an exchange student from Clermont Ferrand, France, earned his Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics from OU in 2018 and is pursuing a doctorate in computer science. Badré worked on his master’s thesis under the guidance of Dr. Shima Mohebbi. His thesis, , Secure Decentralized Decisions to Enhance Coordination in Consolidated Hospital Systems, was published in the October IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering journal. The paper’s co-authors include Dr. Shima Mohebbi, , and Leili Soltanisehat, a doctoral student in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering. The paper focuses on shared decision-making paradigm and patients referral, which has become a crucial solution to build a consolidated healthcare system.
