Seminar

PhD students Simran Lakhani and Debanjan Gangopadhyay along with MTech students Rijin Raj and Ishaan Mane from the department of IEOR attended the 6th Large-Scale Optimization (LSO 2026) summer school organized by IIT Delhi.

This summer school served as a great opportunity for the students to increase their knowledge about various topics in the field of Optimization and Decision Sciences. The LSO hosted speakers from various IIT's and IIM's and all these speakers were able to deliver really insightful sessions.

Hritiz Gogoi presented his PhD research work titled “Exactness of Semidefinite Relaxation of the Max-Cut Problem” at the SIAM Conference on Optimization (OP26), organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The conference was held at The University of Edinburgh from June 2–5, 2026.

Vetrivel P  student at IEOR, IIT Bombay, presented their research paper titled Verticals at Risk: Diagnosing Process Gaps in Dr. Reddy's Global Competitiveness via the IPO Framework at the International Conference 2026 on Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Deep-Tech Startups: Role of Entrepreneurial Universities, hosted by Adelaide University from 22nd May, 2026.

Himanshu Maurya , MTech 2nd year student in IEOR department attended the second PRSG meeting on IoT Sandbox Project in CDAC - Hyderabad on 22nd May 2026 . The meeting was to update the progress of the project to the PRSG members. The project is in a stage where a full physical setup is developed to simulate IoT attacks and algorithm is also ready for detection of various Malware attacks in IoT devices.

Shubham Kumar Singh and Santhakumar V, PhD students in the IEOR department, attended the Advanced Instructional School (AIS) on Martingales and Stochastic Calculus with Applications to Finance, hosted by IIT Guwahati from 11th May 2026 to 23rd May 2026.
