UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Roy Dong Assistant Professor in the Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As data-driven methods are deployed in real-world...

UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Susan Murphy Professor of Statistics and of Computer Science and Associate Faculty at the Kempner Institute, Harvard University. We present our ongoing work on the development of an online reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for dyadic digital intervention settings in which the task for the RL algorithm is to assist the target...

UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Minshuo Chen, assistant professor with the Department of Industrial Engineering & Management Sciences at Northwestern University Diffusion models achieve state-of-the-art performance in various high-dimensional data modeling tasks. These empirical successes challenge conventional wisdom while raising critical concerns. On the one hand, in high-dimensional applications, diffusion models’ strong performance appears to circumvent the...

UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Dr. Santanu Dey, Professor at H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. We develop two general-purpose strong dual formulations for binary MINLPs, motivated by sensitivity analysis and distributed computation. For mixed binary quadratic programs (MBQPs), we show that the copositive dual of Burer’s completely positive...

UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Dr. Georgia Perakis, Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Decision making to satisfy the basic human needs of health, food, and education is complex. We present an overview of two illustrative studies using data to inform decision making in health care delivery associated with sepsis and hunger relief. In the first study, we integrate electronic health record (EHR) data with clinical expertise to develop...

Wearable technology such as smartwatches has the potential to transform the management and control of infectious diseases. Smartwatches provide continuous data about an individual’s health (e.g., heart rate, sleep patterns, physical activity). This data can be exploited to determine when an individual has become infected with a communicable disease, allowing for treatment of the disease...
