Dr. Erick Moreno-Centeno, assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been selected to receive the Dr. Hamed E. Eldin Outstanding Early Career IE in Academia Award from the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Sponsored by Integrated Systems Technology, this award recognizes those who have demonstrated outstanding characteristics in education, leadership, professionalism and potential in industrial engineering. Early career IISE members are honored for their contributions in application, design, research or development of industrial engineering methods.
Moreno-Centeno’s research is focused in the theory and applications of discrete optimization with an emphasis on network optimization. His focus is to design and analyze optimization models and algorithms that are computationally possible for real-world applications. To achieve this, he combines effective modeling with efficient computational techniques. His current projects include designing a roundoff-error-free and fast-in-practice linear programming algorithm and solving problems in energy (topology control), decision theory (voting) and machine learning.
Moreno-Centeno has been invited to accept the award at the IISE Annual Conference and Expo in May.
