The ACO Program

Joint PhD program with Math, GSIA in "Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization"
  • Algorithms group in CS
  • Discrete Math group in Math
  • OR group in GSIA: optimization problems that arise in industry (scheduling, fleet assignments, where to put factories). LP-based approaches. Heuristics. Analysis + practice. Like mix of AI, Theory.
Different course requirements
Might be for you if:
  • You're partly a discrete math person.
  • You prefer linear programming to systems programming

Recent grads: Santosh Vempala, Andrea Richa. See also ACO web page (www.cs.cmu.edu/~aco).
