Students interested in doing a PhD in my group: pls don’t spam me. Invest time in learning, reading papers that interest you, engage by being curious - “was this the best way to solve a problem?”, if you have a new idea write a paper about it, attend conferences if possible.(1/2)

Happy to organize a mini-symposium session on Distributionally robust optimization with recent advancements at #ICSP2023
A great week of talks and discussions on optimization under uncertainty while seeing many friends, colleagues, and stochastic programmers! Stochastic Programming Society

#ICSP2023 was great, as always ! I learned a lot, and smartly predict an optimal #ICSP2025 in Paris.

Congratulations to all the #ipco23 best paper and best poster winners! So many great contributions.

This was the last song he played. The cancer had been ravaging him for months and he was too weak to even pick up the guitar after that.
'Is there really no chance? This can’t be the end,' the song goes.
It's about fighting on in the face of all odds.
Still loving you, Shubho

Hey UW-Madison grad students upset about segregated fees etc, this might be a good place to pay attention. A budget cut will make it infinitely harder to do anything about such problems. We are state funded, no huge endowment with piles of money hiding in coffers

I am immensely honored to be named the Grace Wahba Professor of Data Science. Grace has been a tremendous inspiration and guiding force throughout my entire career. research.wisc.edu/faculty-receiv…

Motivated by the pending Supreme Court case Merrill v. Milligan, we apply the approach to Alabama. Starting from Moon Duchin’s demonstration districts, we draw a plan that has two Black-majority districts, is 40% more compact than the enacted plan, and maintains six county splits

Congratulations to

Just because you tweet about it doesn’t mean they read about it.

And even when you have a radio show, it doesn’t mean they heard you talk about it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Between today & Tuesday, send 5 texts to friends & family who may have forgotten or missed that #Wisconsin has an election on

Congrats to UW Ind & Sys Eng’s Fernando Acosta-Pérez and Rayne Wolf for this recognition 🏆🏆 #NSFGRFP
