Lehigh ISE E-News  Lehigh ISE Newsletter Fall 2021 Frank E. Curtis was co-awarded the MOS-SIAM Lagrange Prize  Lehigh ISE Professor Frank E. Curtis was awarded the 2021 Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization, jointly given by the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization is awarded every three years for an outstanding contribution in the area of continuous optimization published in the six years prior to the award year.   The selection committee awarded Frank E. Curtis and his co-authors Léon Bottou and Jorge Nocedal for the work titled Optimization Methods for Large-Scale Machine Learning.  Click for full text. Tamás Terlaky inducted fellow of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) Tamás Terlaky, George N. and Soteria Kledaras ’87 Endowed Chair Professor, Lehigh ISE, has been inducted as a Fellow of IFORS, the International Federation of Operational Research Societies. Founded in 1955, IFORS has a long history and is the only global organization in the Operations Research field. The IFORS Fellows Award serves to recognize a distinguished individual’s contribution to international operations research and its communities. The program is very selective, and Professor Tamás Terlaky was among the only six 2021 inductees, the only one from the Americas. Click for full text.   Launch of the new Lehigh ISE Outreach Program We have launched the Lehigh ISE Outreach Program (OutreachISE), which aims to improve general awareness of ISE and promote ISE undergraduate research.   In OutreachISE Awareness, ISE faculty and students engage groups of high-school students, college students, and young professionals looking to enter graduate education to create memorable experiences and share academic and professional opportunities in ISE. OutreachISE Research involves undergraduate students in research with ISE faculty to learn about the research process and opportunities in our field. This initiative is ground-breaking in that it involves students across a variety of disciplines working in research teams in different areas. Click for full text. Launch of the new Lehigh ISE Alumni Academy Lehigh ISE is pleased to announce the launch of the Lehigh ISE Alumni Academy. This dynamic new program aims at drawing on the vast experience and knowledge of our talented alumni to increase their engagement in undergraduate students. Alumni regularly come to class to lecture and mentor undergraduate students. Many of the Lehigh ISE alumni have become true leaders in their industry sectors, and we are excited to see them help future ISE graduates become successful too. Click for full text. Optimization Algorithms for Layout of Ammunition Support Activities A Lehigh ISE team is working on a 3-year grant from the US Army to build optimization algorithms for automating the design of layouts for ammunition support activities. The research team consists of Professors Bob Storer, Larry Snyder, and Luis F. Zuluaga. The main focus of the research is the design of field-based ammunition supply points and ammunition transfer points, presenting an ideal opportunity for automated optimization algorithms.

In fact, in the real world, the sheer complexity of the problems faced by a decision-maker may make it impossible to behave rationally, in the sense of being completely equipped to determine a precise optimum to any encountered optimization problem.
