Leonard Boussioux

My doctoral student Léonard Boussioux successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis at MIT today presenting his pioneering work on combining multimodal AI and Optimization. Very proud of you! With the committee members my colleagues Alexandre Jacquillat and Patrick Jaillet. Leonard is joining the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington, Seattle as an assistant professor. Congratulations Leonard!

My doctoral student Irra Na successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis at MIT today. With the committee members: my colleagues Nikos Trichakis and Jonas Jonnason. Irra presented her groundbreaking work on impacting healthcare at Hartford Health Care (HHC) system, the largest healthcare system in Connecticut with a lot of participation from our friends at HHC. Congratulations Irra! Very proud of you!

Vassilis Digalakis
