This spring 67 students graduated from the U-M IOE PhD and master’s program. Many of whom were honored with awards. 

Chen received his bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Data Science as well as a minor in economics from Peking University, in 2019. Chen’s research interests surround mixed-integer programming, large-scale optimization, information theory, and machine learning.

As Brian Denton, U-M IOE’s Department Chair approaches the end of this term he reflects on the accomplishments of the department and why it has been meaningful to lead it over the past five years.
