Benjamin Boucher

Congratulations to Benjamin who successfully defended his doctoral thesis today! Benjamin extended robust optimization models in very novel ways. He is continuing his career at Meta.

Congratulations to Zhen for successfully defending his thesis on the interplay of optimization and machine learning. Zhen is continuing his career at Google. Congratulations, Zhen!

Angelos Koulouras

The barrage of graduations continues. Angelos Koulouras defended his PhD thesis today. He has done excellent work in adaptive optimization in electricity markets, as well as in healthcare—though the latter was not part of his thesis. Angelos will be continuing his career at Amazon. Warm congratulations, Angelos!
