The past month was fruitful for UMass INFORMS Chapter officers as they achieved notable accomplishments. This post commemorates and celebrates these acheivements.
Our Vice-President, Sindhoora Prakash, and Blog Manager, Yukti Kathuria, embarked on their journey for the TAG Master Modeler Competition 2024 in February. Their team was titled “OR”ganized Chaos. They traveled to Atlanta, Georgia last month and emerged victorious in the TAG Master Modeler Competition.
Their work supports the noble cause of the Davis Direction Foundation in helping people to combat addiction.
Later, Sindhoora and Yukti presented the results of their impactful research at the INFORMS Analytics Conference in Orlando, Florida.
Their motto is to “continue leveraging data for meaningful impact and positive change.” The UMass INFORMS Chapter is proud to have had Sindhoora and Yukti serve as officers this academic year.
Additionally, this week, our President, Dana Hassani, was honored as the recipient of the Exceptional Impact Scholarship from the Operations and Information Management department at the Isenberg School of Management, recognizing his research activities during this academic year.
Our faculty advisor, Professor Anna Nagurney, presented the award certificate to Dana. Professor Nagurney also serves as Dana’s PhD supervisor.
Congratulations to Sindhoora, Yukti, and Dana for their achievements. We will celebrate their and our other officers’ accomplishments, as well as all the Chapter’s activities in the past academic year, at our End-of-Semester Party next week.
