Graduate Student Directory

The Graduate Student Directory is a booklet of ORC student resumes that is compiled each year and is circulated to universities and private companies. The primary focus of this effort is on permanent job placement; however, students have also had success in finding summer jobs through this vehicle. Employers who are interested in hiring a student can contact the student directly.

The latest Graduate Student Directory can be found here.

Students on the Market

A listing of ORC students on the job market.

	Kayhan Behdin
	PhD behdink@mit.edu Rahul Mazumder website
Research Interests: My general research interests are in statistics, machine learning and optimization.

	Amine Bennouna
	PhD amineben@mit.edu Bart Van Parys website
Research Interests: My research interest lies in the design of novel algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, motivated by precise theoretical understand of such problems. I worked in particular in designing novel Optimization and Machine Learning methods based on robust optimization and regularization, introducing a novel more efficient Reinforcement Learning and dynamic optimization framework and finally designing more powerful neural network architectures.

	Kayla Cummings
	PhD kaylac@mit.edu Alexandre Jacquillat, Vikrant Vaze website
Research Interests: In my graduate work, I develop decomposition methods for large-scale optimization models toward integrated design of urban transportation systems. In particular, I like to think about how elements of flexibility can improve traditional fixed-route public transit systems. My current projects include paratransit workforce scheduling, microtransit line-setting, and multimodal pricing alliance design between transit agencies and ride-hailing operators.

	Yu Ma
	PhD midsumer@mit.edu Dimitris Bertsimas website
Research Interests: My general research interests are in machine learning in healthcare and optimization. I am looking for a summer internship position where I can further my research on the use of machine learning skills in fields in technology, finance and healthcare settings.

	Arnaud Robin
	SM arobin@mit.edu Alexandre Jacquillat

	Sohil Shah
	PhD sshah95@mit.edu Saurabh Amin, Patrick Jaillet website
Research Interests: My general research interests are in online learning, information design and networks.  I am looking for an industrial position where I can continue to work on interesting research problems in these areas with relevant applications.

	Zikai Xiong
	PhD jzikai@mit.edu Robert Freund website
Research Interests: My general research interests are in optimization, especially first-order methods and linear programming. I am looking for an internship where I can make practical impacts by using my research experience in operations research and optimization.

	Jiayu Zhao
	PhD kamessi@mit.edu Daniel Freund website
Research Interests: My research interests lie at the intersection of online algorithms, stochastic decision-making, and game theory, with applications in revenue management and market design. I am looking for an industry summer internship where I can further my research on dynamic decision making in modern marketplaces.
