PhD in Operations Research - Optimization in Atlanta United States | Georgia Institute of Technology

ISyE features the biggest single-program group of faculty at any U.S. institution specializing primarily in optimization research. Optimization, the mathematically precise approach for determining optimal solutions among multiple options, serves as a vital design and operational method across crucial applications. These span energy, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, social networks, and supply chain management. Beyond its impressive size, we consider our optimization faculty among the world's elite. By any reputable measure of research excellence, our optimization scholars have virtually no equals. Nearly every top research honor in optimization has been earned by at least one of our faculty members, including the John Von Neumann Theory Prize, Dantzig Prize, Fulkerson Prize, Khachiyan Prize, and Beale-Orchard-Hayes Prize. Furthermore, our optimization experts regularly hold senior editorial positions at the field's most prestigious journals, such as Mathematics of Operations Research, Mathematical Programming, Operations Research, and SIAM Journal on Optimization.
