Students on the Market

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.

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

 

Amine
Bennouna
PhD
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
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
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.

Sohil
Shah
PhD
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
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
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.
