Throghout this week, I have been featured on https://t.co/DwX7WjFyZZ Many thanks to Annie Raymond from @UMassAmherst for preparing this inspiring feed to share the stories of women in science #womeninSTEM
Prof. Alexander Shapiro's considerable contributions to the field of optimization led to his being awarded the 2018 Dantzig Prize. His work has various applications, including the methodology he developed w/ Brazil's ONS on hydroelectric power. Read more: https://t.co/Jgi2zeAR9z.
Star mathematical optimizer Danial Dadush received an ERC Grant (1.5 million euros): "Towards a Quantitative Theory of Integer Programming" https://t.co/5oHwnT8tk8 #orms
Professor John-Paul Clarke has joined ISyE with a joint appointment in @GTaerospace. Read about his accomplishments and research, which focuses heavily on aviation operations research: https://t.co/LTTffEQVYB. #HelluvaEngineer#amazingfaculty
Since her applied math PhD @RiceUniversity in '93, Eva Lee has applied the power of #Analytics to ever-harder problems, from supply chains to cancer detection (@informs Edelman Prize in '07) & now to the killer of hundreds of millions of humans: #influenza. Be like Eva! https://t.co/24H5qVUoWx
Recent work with Gábor Braun, Dan Tu, and Stephen Wright (@madsjw) on combining Gradient Descent and Frank-Wolfe #ml#Optimization https://t.co/8k6nwOxQMQ
Our new result with @madeleineudell + zhou: shows convergence rate for novel ltd memory variant of Bach's simpicial method for minimizing convex + submodular objectives --> solving Bach's conjecture (2015). Dual is ltd memory FCFW --> provably small subproblems, better run time!
"Operations research & analytics can play an important role in assisting experimental scientists in their study of viruses or design of vaccines": ISyE's Eva Lee discusses her work developing a universal flu vaccine in this @sciam piece: https://t.co/Su4LTJd7aN. #HelluvaEngineer
ISyE's Sebastian Pokutta on the #BigData revolution: "Big data will finally reach maturity when you don’t see it. It will be everywhere in our lives, but it’ll be invisible.... Right now, we’re ... trying to figure out what to do with it." Read more here: https://t.co/iRoyDCmPpb
@SantanuSDey and coauthors show that the optimal objective of the l_1 relaxation of sparse PCA is within a constant factor of the true optimal value: https://t.co/ASdD4cr8JO
School Chair Edwin Romeijn opens the GT Workshop on Energy Systems and Optimization, attended by students, interdisciplinary faculty, and industry leaders. @isyeopt#GTEnergyWorkshop
