"The faculty encourage us to look for research opportunities, and they mentioned INFORMS as a leading conference in analytics and operations research. I conducted research connected to my work at SCG Packaging - Thailand, where we are using data and machine learning to improve packaging strength. This project was very rewarding and helped me connect my coursework with my job. Preparing the poster forced me to explain the project clearly, and when I presented it at INFORMS, I talked with researchers and practitioners from different industries, received constructive feedback, and saw how advanced analytics is being used around the world." - Supanart Sukrason
“Working on independent research is something which is out of the box. There’s a problem which is not related to your course. You can’t get credit for it, but you still work for it because the problem appeals to you. You apply everything you’ve learned in class.” - Devendra Jaiswal
