Faculty Awards

Main content start

MS&E faculty have a track record of affecting positive change in both their fields and the world at large.

Below is a partial list of awards and honors received by our faculty, including emeritus faculty as well as those from legacy departments that merged to form MS&E in 2000. The main professional societies within which our faculty are active are the Academy of Management (AOM) and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), but there are many other fields to which our faculty contribute. Following the lists of professional societies are the National Academies and notable prizes and recognitions, followed by best paper awards associated with key journals and conferences unaffiliated with societies.
