| Another fall semester is nearly over! A very special highlight was welcoming back Dr. Ferdinand Leimkuhler, former Head of Purdue Industrial Engineering, to speak at the Moshe M. Barash Lecture in November. At our Awards Dinner we announced the new Ferdinand Leimkuhler Dissertation Award in his honor, which will be given every two years to outstanding IE PhD students.
We look forward to what the next semester holds, and all of us at Purdue IE wish you a warm and joyful holiday season and new year. | Dr. Abhi Deshmukh announces the Ferdinand Leimkuhler Dissertation Award | Abhijit Deshmukh, James J.
