I had a great visit to the Dept. of Industrial Engineering at the U of A last Friday. I was deeply honored and super excited to visit the department where I proudly obtained my master’s and PhD degrees. It was such a joy to meet my former advisor Richard Cassady and dissertation committee members who have now become dear friends and continue to offer valuable advice. Catching up with other friends and colleagues was a delightful highlight. I also truly enjoyed the exchange with PhD students there and feel inspired learning all the exciting projects taking place on campus. Thank you for having me back!
