Last Friday, 23/03/2018, we hosted Dr. Les Servi from MITRE Corporation. It was a very interesting talk and we learnt a lot about the importance of robust optimization. The title of the talk was “Robust Network Analysis”. We had a great audience and here are some pictures from the talk!
Our chapter’s advisor Professor Anna Nagurney and our president Deniz Besik gave an introduction to Dr. Servi before his talk.

He is currently the Group Leader at the MITRE Corporation and conducts research in topics, cyber security, social media analysis, and portolio analysis. 
Dr. Servi talked about robust network analysis with hedging and without hedging.
We had a great audience, Professors and students coming from all over the campus.
As a tradition, we had our group picture with the speaker! Thank you so much for your talk Dr. Servi.
