报告题目：A personal journey through operations research

报告摘要：

        In this talk, I will share my experience of working in the field of operations research, both in industry and academia. I will talk about problems I work on, OR and mathematical methodologies for solving these problems, and the relationship of math/OR knowledge learned in classroom, their application in industry and advancement by research. Specific research projects include transportation, supply chain management, portfolio optimization, data approximation, and cutting stock problems. We will introduce some fundamentals of optimization and operations research including linear optimization, integer optimization, vehicle routing problems, portfolio optimization problems, and large-scale optimization methods.
