Welcome to ORFE The ongoing information and machine learning revolution has had enormous impact on almost every aspect of society and the workplace. The (ORFE) department's research and teaching focuses on the foundations of data science, probabilistic modeling, and optimal decision-making under uncertainty, with applications in communications, economics and finance, energy and the environment, healthcare management, physical and biological sciences, social networks, and transportation. The core graduate and undergraduate programs provide strong technical grounding in statistics, stochastics, and optimization. Combined expertise in these areas has produced important breakthroughs in research and industry practice. For example, insights in large-scale optimization and high-dimensional random structures play a crucial role in the statistical analysis of massive datasets that arise in areas as diverse as the human genome to financial data. Ideas from statistics and machine learning are central in the development of new algorithms for making on-line decisions and for other complex optimization problems that find applications ranging from clinical trials to internet advertising. We are currently 15 faculty, 52 Ph.D. students and 215 undergraduate majors. In these pages, you will find details of our research, teaching, graduate and undergraduate programs, and conferences and other events that we organize and host. Thank you for visiting our site and your interest in ORFE.
