Andrea Lodi, the Andrew H. and Ann R. Tisch Professor (ORIE, Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute), has been named an INFORMS Fellow Class of 2023. Lodi was selected for theoretical and computational contributions in discrete optimization, especially powerful primal heuristic methods to quickly find high-quality feasible solutions and breakthroughs in exploiting the dual side of integer programming.

David Muller, the Samuel B. Eckert Professor of Engineering (AEP), was awarded the The John M Cowley Medal. The Cowley Medal is the highest award of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy and is only awarded once every 4 years. The medal is awarded in recognition of lifetime achievement to an international leader in the fields of diffraction physics or microscopy.
