I attended the 2025 IISE Annual Conference in Atlanta from May 31st to June 2nd. I have enjoyed meeting many colleagues and friends and learning about their research. Here are my main activities at this year’s IISE annual conference.

1. Served as judge for the Quality Control & Reliability Engineering (QCRE) Best Track Paper Competition. Very impressed and inspired by the presentations made by the finalists.
2. Served as judge for the Data Analytics & Information Systems (DAIS) Best Track Paper Competition. Another great session with four outstanding research presentations.
3. Attended the QCRE Townhall meeting. Received my plaque that recognizes my service to QCRE as its immediate past, President, and President-Elect. QCRE is my home division at the IISE and it has been a true honor to serve and lead this division. Look forward to continuing getting involved in this wonderful community.
