Biography
Hello, my name is James Houghton and I am from Long Island, New York. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering in May 2017. My passion for Industrial and Systems engineering really began to grow as I learned more about Simulation, Operations Research, and Optimization. I returned to the University of Rhode Island in Spring 2018 to pursue a Master’s degree in Systems engineering and to work with Dr. Macht on the RI VOTES project. I am excited to work on this project because it gives me the opportunity to further develop my technical skills while also contributing to my community.
