He is also the research director for medical decision-making in the Center for Health \u0026amp; Humanitarian Systems at Georgia Tech. Dr. Ayer conducts research on stochastic modeling and optimization, with applications in predictive health, medical decision making, health care operations, and health policy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.isye.gatech.edu\/users\/david-goldberg\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDavid Goldberg\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E was appointed A. Russell Chandler III Assistant Professor in February 2016. Dr. Goldberg works in applied probability, interpreted broadly, on topics ranging from inventory control and queueing theory to distributionally robust and combinatorial optimization. Much of his work focuses on using ideas from probability theory to prove that high-dimensional complex systems can be well-approximated by much simpler systems, and using these insights to devise novel algorithms with provable performance guarantees.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.isye.gatech.edu\/users\/sebastian-pokutta\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESebastian Pokutta\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E was appointed David M. McKenney Family Assistant Professor in April 2016. Dr. Pokutta\u0027s research concentrates on combinatorial optimization and polyhedral combinatorics, and in particular focuses on cutting-plane methods and extended formulations. His industry research interests are in optimization and machine learning in the context of analytics with a focus on real-world applications, both in established industries as well as in emerging technologies.
