I am looking to work with motivated and talented Ph.D. students.
If you are a prospective graduate student interested in working with me, please consider applying to the Ph.D. program in Industrial and Systems Engineering at UW–Madison.
If you already are a graduate student at UW-Madison in ISyE, Mathematics, or Computer Sciencesand would like to discuss potential research opportunities, feel free to email me to set up a meeting.
I also encourage you to attend the courses I teach, as they provide useful background for my research.
