Presented By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering
Departmental Seminar (899): Xiuli Chao
Academia versus industry: A personal experience
Speaker: Xiuli Chao, Ralph. L. Disney Professor and Master's Program Director at the University of Michigan Industrial and Operations Engineering
Title: Academia versus industry: A personal experience
Abstract: In this INFORMS Student Chapter sponsored seminar, I will share with our U-M IOE graduate students my last two years of working experience in industry and compare that with my many years of experience working in academia. I will discuss pros and cons of each of them, and address the question of what is best for you. I will also discuss some of the industry projects I worked on together with the IOE techniques needed for them. I hope this seminar will help our graduating students plan their future careers. The talk will include a Q&A so please bring your questions.
