Welcome to Michael Tricks Operations Research Blog (ORB). With this blog, I chat about happenings in the world of Operations Research.
A few words about me: I am a past President of INFORMS (The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences) and am currently a Vice President of IFORS (the International Federation of Operational Research Societies). A long time ago, I created Michael Trick’s Operations Research Page, which eventually became the INFORMS Resources Page. I was also the founding editor of INFORMS Online.
I am currently a Professor of Operations Research at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon. During my time there, I spent eight years asPresident of the Carnegie Bosch Institute for Applied Studies in International Management. I am also an Area Editor for the journal Operations Research, responsible for the “OR Forum“: articles on controversial and/or important issues in operations research.
