Join us for the 2nd Annual ISE Student Conference on Friday, May 2 at the Illini Union!

The conference offers ISE graduate students the opportunity to share their research work through an oral presentation or a poster. All concentrations in the ISE department (Data Analytics, Decision and Control Systems, Design and Manufacturing, Financial Engineering, Operations Research, and Human Factors) and related research are welcomed. This is a fantastic opportunity for ISE graduate students to showcase their research, whether through an oral presentation or a poster session. We welcome submissions from all ISE concentrations—Data Analytics, Decision and Control Systems, Design and Manufacturing, Financial Engineering, Operations Research, Healthcare Technology, and Human Factors. Don’t miss out on the chance to connect with fellow ISE students, explore cutting-edge research across the department, and share your own work with a diverse audience of students and faculty. Whether it’s your thesis work, ideas in progress, or published papers, this is your moment to shine! The conference will feature keynote speakers, oral presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities.
We are honored to have our keynote speakers: Professor Hamsa Balakrishnan (associate Dean at MIT School of Engineering and William E. Leonhard (1940) Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics) and Professor Young-Jun Son (James J. Solberg Head and Ransburg Professor of the Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University).
We’re excited to invite speakers to present their work during an oral presentation session. Each presentation will be 15 minutes, including time for Q&A. Please submit the speaker name, presentation title, and abstract to this form by March 20, 2025.
We ask that all oral presenters also participate in the poster session.
Present your innovative ideas or current work during our poster session and don’t miss the poster competition — an outstanding poster will be recognized for its excellence! Please submit the speaker name and the poster title to this form by March 20, 2025. Further details will be provided for approved submissions. We look forward to your participation in this exciting event! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our student committee members.
