Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2026 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM - Dr. Rosa Kajmalnik Brown of Arizona State University presents BME's distinguished Weinbaum lecture.

Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2026 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Quantum computers introduce new opportunities for modeling and solving decision problems. In this talk, we will first discuss the unique positioning of Industrial Engineering in the quantum research landscape that motivates new directions at the intersection of application and theory. Then as an example, we will present a new algorithm, Iterative-QAOA, for combinational optimization problems.
