I am extremely grateful for all the support over the past 12 years since the beginning of this journey. I am so lucky to have the like-friend like-family colleagues, staff & students at IOE & UM. Special thanks go to my family & especially the cute kids keeping us entertained :)
Congratulations to Haoming Shen for a successful Ph.D. defense. Way to go!
Title: Theory and Algorithms of Robust Chance Constraints
Chair: Ruiwei Jiang
Check out @Huiwen18's work (joint with @SiqianShen and myself) on how to optimally price reusable resources for service systems under incomplete information setting, now online at Operations Research (https://t.co/CvL0AFN3IN). @umichioe

WOW. "Teachers assume they are smart, hard-working & high-achieving, which can boost the grades of even academically mediocre AsianAm students." Q: How many biased teachers do we need to promote so many undeserving AsianAm students? #StopAsianHate
“Asian American students who have earned admission to Harvard are smart, promising, and have no doubt worked very hard. But in ways . . . they may have also benefited from their racial status long before they applied,” writes sociology Professor @JLeeSoc. https://t.co/VR5JkgsWcV
Congrats, @haoming_shen! The paper (https://t.co/JJ1WdbGYgO) provides conditions under which a pessimistic/optimistic chance constraint yields a *convex* feasible region. Thx to @INFORMS@InformsOS for recognition!
@umichioe Ph.D. student @haoming_shen has won an INFORMS Optimization Society 2022 Student Paper Prize honorable mention for their paper "Convex Chance-Constrained Programs with Wasserstein Ambiguity"! Co-author: @RuiweiJ
The 1st Early-Career Researchers Webinar of JFIG will feature Drs. Sara Shashaani (@NCStateISE) and Eunhye Song (@GeorgiaTechISyE). Please RSVP here: https://t.co/QpXZ807mxu
We launched a new initiative: JFIG Early-career Researchers Webinar Series. Each webinar includes two 30-minute presentations. Our first is scheduled on Sep 16 (Fri) at 9am ET. See schedule and/or RSVP here:

Glad to share my 1st paper with @haoming_shen, newly published online by Math. Program. @math_opt An interesting technical result: a complete description of the convex hull of a mixed-integer set, arising from a "shifted" submodular function. @UMIOE

Ambiguous chance constraints may produce *convex* feasible regions if we choose a different reference distribution than empirical. Super happy to work on this with @haoming_shen@UMIOE
