The INFORMS Optimization Society just announced their 2010 awards.<\/p>\n
I [Nick Sahinidis, President of the Society] am delighted to announce the winners of the 2010 INFORMS Optimization Society Prizes:
\n– George L. Nemhauser<\/a>, winner of the first Khachiyan Prize for his life-time achievements in the field of optimization
\n– Zhi-Quan (Tom) Luo<\/a>, winner of the 2010 Farkas Prize for his outstanding contributions to the field of optimization
\n– Anthony Man-Cho So<\/a>, winner of the 2010 Prize for Young Researchers for his paper “Moment inequalities for sums of random matrices and their applications to optimization<\/a>,” Mathematical Programming, DOI: 10.1007\/s10107-009-0330-5
\n– Shiqian Ma<\/a>, winner of the 2010 Student Paper Prize for his paper “Fast multiple splitting algorithms for convex optimization,”<\/a> co-authored with Don Goldfarb.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nA very impressive group!\u00a0 I have worked with Nemhauser, and he and I are co-owners of a small sports scheduling firm<\/a>.\u00a0 I’d like to think sports scheduling helped a little bit in getting this award, but since our most cited paper together<\/a> is only his 14th most cited paper (it is my 5th most cited, both stats according to Google scholar), I guess he is really getting it for his work on more fundamental issues in integer programming (and other areas!).<\/p>\n
Congrats to all the winners.\u00a0 You can find out more about their work, and even see them all together at the upcoming INFORMS meeting<\/a>:<\/p>\n
The detailed award citations for this year’s prizes can be found at http:\/\/optimization.society.informs.org\/prizes.html<\/a>.\u00a0 The four prize winners will present their work at a special session at the INFORMS meeting in Austin, scheduled for November 7th from 13:30 to 15:00 and entitled “Optimization Society Prizes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
