Aadithan Anbuvanan presents his poster, titled as “Multi Stage Genetic Algorithm Optimization for Scheduling Flexible Flow Lines with Sequence Dependent Setup Times,” at the 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA.
Ahmad Kokhahi presents his research, titled as “Path optimization of multiple robots in robotic mobile fulfillment system,” at the 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA.
Melika Jahan Beikloo has been awarded NSF Travel Grant to support their travel to attend the 2025 IISE Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA. She will be presenting joint work with Dr. Mary E. Kurz, Dr. Thomas C. Sharkey and Dr. Bryan Lee Miller entitled “Assessing the Distribution of Naloxone Across Communities in South Carolina”.
Melika Jahan Beikloo presents her research on “Assessing the Equitable Distribution of Naloxone Locations in South Carolina” at the 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA. This presentation highlights our work on assessing the spatial distribution of Naloxone centers and its critical role in harm reduction strategies for the opioid epidemic.
Melika Jahan Beikloo presents poster titled “Modeling the Opioid Epidemic Using Agent-Based Modeling and GIS” at the Southern Criminal Justice Association (SCJA) conference in Greenville on September 12th, 2024. The poster explores the use of computational models and spatial data to better understand and address the opioid epidemic in South Carolina. By integrating Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this project aims to provide insights into the social and spatial dynamics of the crisis, helping to inform more effective intervention strategies.
Nitin Srinath, I. Ozan Yilmazlar, Mary E. Kurz and Kevin Taaffe are proud to announce that our paper, “Introducing Preferences in Scheduling Applications,” has been published in Computers & Industrial Engineering. Read it here.
Ibrahim Ozan Yilmazlar has been awarded a Graduate Travel Grant (GTG) from Clemson University Graduate Student Government in the amount of $750 to support their travel to attend INFORMS.
The Clemson Alumni Association recently honored Dr. Mary E. Kurz with the designation of Honorary Alumna of Clemson University, Class of 2021. The distinction of Honorary Alum is a special recognition intended for steadfast Tiger supporters whose “blood runs orange” but who never attended Clemson.
Clemson University faculty have recognized associate professor of industrial engineering Mary E. Kurz as one of the very best among them by awarding her the Class of ’39 Award for Excellence. The award, endowed by the Class of 1939 to commemorate its 50th anniversary in 1989, is presented annually to one distinguished faculty member whose outstanding contributions for a five-year period have been judged by her/his peers to represent the highest achievement of service to the student body, university and community, state or nation.
For more than 17 seventeen years, Clemson has honored the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Excellence in Service Award. Presented annually, the award recognizes individuals who embody the spirit of Dr. King’s vision of the beloved community, which he defines as a “a community inclusive of all people, regardless of race, gender, class, ethnicity; a community that recognizes people as individuals first, each with a unique set of life experiences that shapes their particular perspective; a community where varied perspectives are brought together in a collective effort to achieve goals for the common good.”
