Dr. Ciarallo joined the faculty at Wright State as an assistant professor in March 2003. He was promoted to associate professor in 2006.  He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering, and Engineering & Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University in 1986. He received both his M.S. in Manufacturing & Operations Systems (1988) and his Ph.D. in Industrial Administration (1993) from the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon. Previously, Dr. Ciarallo has been on the faculty of Systems & Industrial Engineering at the University of Arizona, as well as a visiting professor at the University of California - Berkeley, in the Haas School of Business.

Dr. Ciarallo's teaching experience includes directing the ISE senior design projects and courses in production & inventory control, design of experiments, systems engineering, manufacturing systems modeling, operations management, simulation modeling & analysis, probability & statistics and data structures & algorithms. He received the "Excellence at the Student Interface Award" by the vote of students in Systems & Industrial Engineering at the University of Arizona in four different years.

Dr Ciarallo's recent research interests include: production planning, forecasting and inventory control in supply chain systems with uncertainty; simulation modeling of complex systems; perturbation analysis derivative estimates for traffic management and inventory optimization; coordinated ramp metering for freeway traffic management; optimization and uncertainty in inspection planning; and ; agent based performance analysis for distributed simulations. His publications have appeared in journals including Management Science, IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, International Journal of Production Research, Journal of Robotic Systems, and Robotics & Computer-Aided Manufacturing. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Ohio and Arizona Departments of Transportation, NCR/Teradata Corp. and Royal Philips, Inc. He has served as a referee for journals including Management Science, Operations Research, International Journal of Production Research, IIE Transactions, Journal of Production and Operations Management, International Journal of Production Economics, European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, and IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing.
Dr. Ciarallo is an active member of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), and the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE). He served as the President of the Cincinnati-Dayton Chapter of INFORMS in 2008, serves on the National INFORMS Chapter/Fora Committee and is faculty advisor for the student chapter of IIE at Wright State.
