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.

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. |

PhD
Georgia Perakis
website |
|
Research Interests: My primary research interests lie at the intersection of Optimization and Machine Learning. Over the course of my PhD I have collaborated closely with several companies/organizations (e.g., IBM, Zara, Myntra, MIT Quest and the CDC) developing novel approaches and algorithms to enable data-driven decision making in many applications such as supply chains and healthcare. I am currently looking for an industry position that will allow me to utilize my skills and have an impact in challenging real-world problems. |
