IE alum uses optimal decision-making under uncertainty to fight cancer
Arka Roy (PhD 2015, IE) always wanted to be a medical doctor, but he was never too excited about medicine. Instead, he fell in love with mathematics.
It turns out that math proved to be the perfect tool for Roy to enlist in the fight against cancer. He joined Bowling Green State University as an assistant professor in the College of Business Administration in August 2015 after earning his PhD at the Purdue University School of Industrial Engineering. He focuses his research on optimal decision-making under uncertainty with applications in cancer radiation therapy.
