I am super happy to share that my proposal, “Advancing Contextual Stochastic Optimization via Distributionally Robust Optimization Techniques,” has been recommended for sponsorship by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Mathematical Optimization program @usc.edu @viterbischool.usc.edu

Congratulations to my brilliant PhD student, Shutian Li, on the acceptance of her paper, "Equity-promoting Integer Programming Approaches For Medical Resident Rotation Scheduling," in Health Care Management Science (co-authored with me, Prof. Frank E. Curtis, and Dr. Beth R. Hochman).

Thanks to Greta Harrison for writing this news item about our recent paper and to my amazing co-authors, Dr. Padman, Dr. Tsang, Dr. Kilic (MD) @viterbischool.usc.edu @usc.edu viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2025/09...

Kicking off my first semester with the Trojans family @usc.edu @viterbischool.usc.edu Wishing everyone a happy and successful Fall semester. #FightOn

Thrilled to be joining @usc.edu @viterbischool.usc.edu and the Daniel J. Epstein Department of ISE later this week as the Gabilan Assistant Professor of ISE. Excited to continue building, inspiring, elevating, and pushing boundaries. Onward and upward #FightOn!

Happy to share that I've officially become a U.S. citizen! I'm deeply grateful for everything this country has given me—from higher education and a career to lifelong friendships, family, and unconditional love. I've been a good human and citizen, and I will continue to be. #NewUSCitizen

Our paper, A Unified Framework for Analyzing and Optimizing a Class of Convex Fairness Measures, has been accepted in Operations Research.This paper, joint work w Dr.Tsang, presents a new step toward mulating and solving fairness-promoting optimization problems shorturl.at/hmMq4 @informs.bsky.social

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Congratulations, Dr. Man Yiu (Tim) Tsang. It's been an honor to be part of your journey.

1/3 Congratulations to my first PhD student, Dr. Man Yiu (Tim) Tsang, on today's outstanding dissertation defense! Dr. Tsang's dissertation, which includes 7 chaps, pushes the theoretical and computational boundaries of stochastic and robust optimization methodologies and their applications…

Join us for the Robust Optimization Webinar (#ROW) this Friday, May 2, at 15:00 (CET). Speaker: Francesca Maggioni (University of Bergamo) Title: Sampling and Bounding Methods for Multistage Robust and Distributionally Robust Optimization More information: sites.google.com/view/row-ser...

I’m looking for a Postdoc to join my research group at the of Southern California @usc.edu (we’re moving to USC this August!) to work on exciting projects in stochastic and distributionally robust optimization, with real-world applications in healthcare, FL, and transportation. shorturl.at/5L4Ne

Just a few days left to submit those nominations

1/3 I reached a minor milestone today—my citation count hit 500 this morning! I started my career with just one published journal paper (+ some preprints) and around two citations in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

With @karmelshehadeh.bsky.social and Milos Kopa, we are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the triennial Dupačová-Prékopa Student Paper Prize in Stochastic Programming. Nominations are due March 25. For details about the prize and nomination process, see icsp2025.org/student-pape...
