Bill Cook Elected INFORMS Fellow
Primary tabs
William J. Cook, Chandler Family Chair and professor
in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, was
elected INFORMS Fellow at the 2010 INFORMS annual meeting in Austin, Texas, in November.
The INFORMS Fellow
Award is reserved for distinguished individuals who have demonstrated
outstanding and exceptional accomplishments and experience in operations
research and the management sciences. Their service to the profession and to
INFORMS has culminated in election to the INFORMS Fellow Award.
Cook,
known widely for his work with the Traveling Salesman Problem and his
research in combinatorial optimization and
integer programming, was elected for his research contributions in both areas. Cook is one of eleven Fellows elected this
year.
In addition to his research
interests in combinatorial optimization and integer programming, Cook is also
heavily involved in research dealing with computational issues involved in
treating hard discrete problems such as large instances for the celebrated
traveling salesman problem.
Cook is the author or editor of
seven books, the latest due out in 2011, and the current editor-in-chief of the
Mathematical
Programming Computation journal. His
awards, in addition to his election as INFORMS Fellow, include the I.E. Block Community Lecturer prize from the Society for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics and the Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize for
Excellence in Computational Mathematical Programming.
Cook joins a
distinguished list, including the following twelve other ISyE faculty members
who have achieved this recognition:
Dr. Jan Shi
Dr. John Bartholdi
