The Goldstine Fellowship offers scientists of exceptional ability the opportunity to progress their scholarship at the IBM Research Center as a resident department member.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn order to pursue the fellowship, Fukasawa will postpone his position as assistant professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo. He will graduate this August and begin the fellowship shortly after. Additionally, Fukasawa will receive a stipend of $95,000 to $115,000. IBM has awarded the Fellowship to one recipient per year since 1999.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022During my year at IBM as a Goldstine Fellow I want to extend my current line of research on cutting planes for mixed-integer programs, as well as start getting involved in other projects that will help me extend my expertise in optimization,* said Fukasawa. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFukasawa is the first student from Georgia Tech to receive this honor. His advisor is Dr. \u003Cstrong\u003EWilliam J. \u0022Bill* Cook\u003C\/strong\u003E; Fukasawa is the second of Cook\u0027s advisees to be awarded the Fellowship. While a professor at Rice University in Houston, TX, Cook also advised 2002 Fellowship recipient Sanjeeb Dash. The 2007 winner and current holder is Dr. \u003Cstrong\u003ETon Dieker\u003C\/strong\u003E, a recent addition to the ISyE faculty. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERicardo Fukasawa\u0027s research interests include theoretical and computational mixed-integer programming problems (with emphasis on polyhedral combinatorics, cutting planes, and branch-cut-and-price) and vehicle routing and similar types of combinatorial optimization problems. He holds a B.S. and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Pontif*cia Universidade Cat*lica do Rio de Janeiro.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Ricardo Fukasawa, a fifth * year PhD student in the Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization program at ISyE, is the 2008-2009 recipient of the IBM Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mathematical Sciences.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Fukasawa Receives*2008 Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship"}],"uid":"27279","created_gmt":"2008-05-09 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:03:53","author":"Barbara Christopher","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2008-05-09T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2008-05-09T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"50007":{"id":"50007","type":"image","title":"Ricardo Fukasawa","body":null,"created":"1449175360","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:42:40","changed":"1475894449","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:40:49","alt":"Ricardo Fukasawa","file":{"fid":"126914","name":"thx33587.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/thx33587_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/thx33587_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":74591,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/thx33587_0.jpg?itok=lfiZG5N0"}}},"media_ids":["50007"],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"}],"keywords":[{"id":"7972","name":"Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship"},{"id":"1125","name":"mathematical sciences"},{"id":"7971","name":"Richard Fukasawa"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["bchristopher@isye.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
