Dear colleague,

The Mathematical Optimization Society invites nominations for the 2021 A.W.
Tucker Prize, to be awarded at the International Symposium on Mathematical
Programming (ISMP) in Beijing, China (August 15 — 20, 2021). The prize is
awarded to an outstanding doctoral dissertation defended (and degree
awarded) between January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2021.

The deadline for nominations is January 15, 2021. The nominator must be a
faculty member at the institution that awarded the nominee's doctoral
degree, or a member of the nominee's dissertation committee. Applications
should consist of the following four files, each of which should be
submitted as a single PDF file:

- a letter of nomination,
- the nominee's dissertation,
- a separate summary of the dissertation's contributions, written by the
nominee, that is no more than five (5) pages in length, and
- a brief biographical sketch of the nominee.

Nominations and the accompanying documentation must be written in English.
