The 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting was held in Atlanta, GA.  My research group has made the following presentations.

• Variance-aware Risk-Sensitive Reinforcement Learning by Saunak Panda, Ruiqi Liu, and Yisha Xiang
• Robust Decision-Making in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes by Tong Li
• Robust Remanufacturing Planning with Interval Matrix-Based Uncertainty Set by Jun Zhou, Ming Zhao, and Yisha Xiang

I had the honor of co-chairing the Junior Faculty Interest Group (JFIG) Teaching Award. I also had the great  pleasure to serve as a panelist for “Starting an Academic Career for New and Prospective Faculty in Data Science.”

I served as a reviewer and judge for the 2025 INFORMS QSR Best Student Paper Competition.
