ISE Colloquium
Over the last 6 years, Anil Markose has been embedded with two of the most disruptive changes in technology--the rapid adoption of the public cloud, and rethinking of everything with AI. His front row seat at two of the most impacted organizations in these spaces, AWS and Oracle, gives him a unique perspective on the challenges of managing simultaneous frontier AI model deployment and workforce reskilling and deployment, while building regulatory and customer trust and enterprise security. The complexities of this tectonic shift are enormous.
Understanding and controlling the process–structure–property relationship is central to advancing manufacturing. This talk presents AI/ML methods that study manufacturing processes and material properties through physically meaningful intermediate representations.
The framework of multi-agent game-theoretic learning explores how individual agent strategies evolve in response to the strategies of others. A central question is whether these evolving strategies converge to classical solution concepts, such as Nash equilibrium.
Strategic Sharing Under Disruption
Understand Participation of Competing Firms in Supply Chain Information Sharing Under Disruption
Share when coordination gains outweigh competitive exposure.
We study the integrality gap of convex mixed-integer programs, that is, the difference between the optimal value of such a problem and the optimal value of its continuous relaxation. We study classes of convex sets whose associated optimization problem have finite integrality gap: Dirichlet convex sets, sets with full-dimensional recession cones and sets that can be approximated by polyhedral sets. In the latter two cases, we provide estimates for the value of the integrality gap.
What does it mean, in the 21st century, to answer Rensselaer's founding directive of applying science to the common purposes of life through rigorous mathematics and algorithms? Historically, mathematical optimization has focused on minimizing costs, reducing time, or maximizing profits. Yet, as sociological patterns evolve and our communities grow ever more complex, leaders across the public and social sectors face increasing challenges that exceed traditional capabilities.
