ISyE's applied probability and simulation research spans from theoretical foundations to practical implementations. Current methodological studies in applied probability cover:
Approximation techniques for queuing network models.
Analysis of rare occurrences (such as large deviations, extreme values, and tail asymptotics) in queuing systems, Gaussian processes, and heavy-tailed scenarios.
Investigations of duality, mixing times, and phase transitions within controlled and uncontrolled Markov processes.
Development and evaluation of algorithms with associated combinatorial aspects.
Inventory management theory.
In simulation research, projects focus on enhancing the effectiveness and reliability of complex simulations. These initiatives include:
Refining simulation models through optimization techniques (like adaptive random search, ranking/selection methods, or multinomial selection).
Modeling stochastic processes with significant dependencies.
Sequential approaches for quantile estimation.
Variance reduction techniques for option pricing calculations.
Sampling methodologies from model manifolds.

Qualification Requirements
New Ph.D. students are admitted for each Fall semester only, and the admissions process is coordinated by the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies. Decisions on applicants to our various Ph.D. programs are determined jointly by a committee of faculty members, potential faculty research advisors, and the Associate Chair. All applicants must select and apply to a specific degree program, although it is possible in some cases to switch programs after enrollment.
A prior Master's degree is not a requirement for admission into our Ph.D. programs, and students can earn an M.S. degree typically within the first two years of Ph.D. study. For those unsure about applying to a Master's program versus a Ph.D. program, please note that students in our Master's programs are not guaranteed admission into a Ph.D. program here, we do offer a simplified application scheme. If you are interested in research and a Ph.D. degree, you should apply to a Ph.D. program directly.
Transcripts: Transcripts of prior academic work are required, as is evidence of an earned Bachelor's degree. Applicant transcripts should demonstrate strong academic preparation and capability, especially in advanced mathematics and computing coursework. Those with less preparation in mathematics and engineering are expected to use coursework at Georgia Tech to quickly establish proficiency.
IELTS - 7 (minimum band score for Reading, Listening, and Speaking is 6.5, minimum band score for Writing is 5.5), TOEFL iBT - 90 (each section must score 19 or higher)
TOEFL PBT - 577.
