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.

	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.

	Léonard Boussioux
	SM leobix@mit.edu Dimitris Bertsimas website
Research Interests: My primary research interests lie at Optimization and Machine Learning intersection, with applications to Computer Vision, Time Series analysis, Chaos and Weather prediction, and Healthcare. I am looking for a Research Summer internship in 2021 where I could apply and develop further my Machine Learning experience.​

	Vassilis Digalakis
	PhD vvdig@mit.edu Dimitris Bertsimas website
Research Interests: I am broadly interested in analytics, machine learning, and optimization, focusing on their application to sustainability and renewable energy integration. In terms of methodology, my work leverages optimization, particularly mixed-integer, robust, and convex, and aims at developing scalable algorithms that address central problems in machine learning and big-data analytics. In terms of applications, my focus is on sustainability and, specifically, renewable energy integration. I am looking for tenure-track academic positions starting in Summer/Fall 2023.

	Xiao-Yue Gong
	PhD xygong@mit.edu David Simchi-Levi website
Research Interests: My research interests lie broadly in online algorithms, reinforcement learning, data-driven revenue management and supply chain optimization. My research develops novel models of practical applications for businesses’ strategic opportunities, and designs machine learning/reinforcement learning algorithms that cater to the special structures of OR/OM problems. I am looking for a tenure-track academic position starting in summer/fall 2022.
