Joseph Mitchell
Chair, Professor, Ph.D., 1986 Stanford University: Computational geometry
Joe Mitchell is one of the country’s leaders in computational geometry, which studies
the design, analysis, and implementation of efficient algorithms to solve geometric
problems. His particular interest is applications to problems in computer graphics,
visualization, robotics, manufacturing, geographic information systems, and computer
vision. In the 1990’s, he chaired the National Science Foundation advisory committee
in computational geometry. A major current application is helping air traffic controllers
route airplanes around bad weather.

Stochastic Optimization
Eugene Feinberg
Professor, Ph.D., 1979 Vilnius University: Operations Research
Eugene Feinberg works in stochastic methods of operations research and their industrial
applications. He is one of the world leaders in Markov decision processes and its
application to telecommunication, manufacturing, transportation, service and to other
man-made systems. He is one of the country’s experts on optimizing electric energy
transmission and forecasting energy demand. Dr. Feinberg previously held appointments
at Moscow Institute of Transport Engineering (Russia ), Yale University, and MIT.

Jiaqiao Hu
Associate Professor, Ph.D., 2006 University of Maryland College Park: Operations Research
Jiaqiao Hu's research is focused on designing and analyzing randomized algorithms
for solving Markov decision processes and global optimization problems. He has been
investigating new sampling and simulation-based techniques to overcome the computational
difficulties associated with traditional methods, where sampling and simulation techniques
are used not only to avoid enumerating the entire solution space but also to resolve
the issue of the unavailability of explicit mathematical models of the underlying
systems.

Sustainable Computing and Networking Systems
Zhenhua Liu
Assistant Professor, Ph.D., 2014 California Institute of Technology:
Zhenhua Liu's current research interests include sustainable computing and networking
systems, cloud platforms for big data applications and energy management, and renewable
energy integration. He develops and applies techniques from distributed system, nonlinear
optimization, game theory, and online algorithm for these systems. In particular,
his research combines rigorous analysis and system design, and goes from theory, to
prototype, and eventually to industry to make real impacts.

Combinatorics
Alan Tucker
Distinguished Teaching Professor, Ph.D., 1969 Stanford University: Combinatorics
Alan Tucker is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and of the American Assocation
for the Advancement of Science. He is editor-in-chief of Applied Mathematical Letters and author of the textbook Applied Combinatorics, now in its 6th edition. Alan started his career at Stony Brook doing research in
graph theory and combinatorial algorithms. Increasingly he became more engaged in
mathematics education. He directed large regional and national NSF initiatives to
improve collegiate and K-12 mathematics instruction. He was the lead author of four
influential reports from the Mathematical Association of America, including The Mathematical Education of Teachers (2001).
