8 2017 RISING STAR 2017 RISING STAR Ilke Bakir Ph.D. Candidate Georgia Institute of Technology Olivia Clifton Ph.D. Candidate Columbia University Talk Title: Methods for Optimization under Uncertainty with Applications in Fleet Management My name is Ilke Bakir, and I am a Ph.D. candidate at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, at Georgia Institute of Technology. Starting in January 2018, I am going to be affiliated with the Faculty of Economics and Business at University of Groningen (Netherlands) as an Assistant Professor. I hold an M.S. degree from North Carolina State University and a B.S. degree from Bogazici University (Turkey). I am currently working on a few topics related to large scale optimization in transportation networks and stochastic programming: integrated fleet management in the adoption of new fleet types (such as alternative fuel long-haul trucks) and scenario set partition sampling methods in finding dual bounds to multistage stochastic MIPs. My current and future research interests also include robust optimization in network problems, online vehicle routing, and data-driven optimization models in transportation problems. I can be reached at ilkebakir@gatech.edu. Talk Title: Spatiotemporal variability in the vegetation sink of tropospheric ozone and implications for air pollution Olivia Clifton is currently an NSF Graduate Research Fellow working with Dr. Arlene Fiore at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science. Olivia completed her undergraduate studies in mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison where she worked with Dr. Tracey Holloway in the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment. Olivia s research aims to quantify how tropospheric ozone, an air pollutant and potent greenhouse gas, responds to changing precursor emissions, climate, and land use. In particular, her research focuses on how the vegetation sink of tropospheric ozone changes with meteorology and biophysics and how this modulates atmospheric composition. Olivia uses measurements and a hierarchy of models from the process level to the global scale in her research. Better constraints on spatiotemporal variability in this poorly understood sink and its impact on atmospheric chemistry will advance our ability to predict landatmosphere interactions in a changing climate.
