Optimality Gap
Many students may start graduate school with a vague idea about areas they would like to study or perhaps a few general research questions. Join us, the Clemson University INFORMS Student Chapter, as we interview different OR faculties from across and outside the campus to talk about research in graduate school. If you want to conduct excellent research and learn what the different OR faculties from Clemson University and other top institutions are working on or want to excel in graduate school – this show is for you.
