Prof. Leslie Trotter directs the ORIE Ph.D. program.

Ph.D. students participate in a rigorous intellectual program demanding independent investigation and achievement and characterized by original scholarly work of the highest caliber. The emphasis in the Ph.D. program is on operations research as a mathematical science. This provides our doctoral students with a strong analytical foundation for advanced research in the theory and methodology of Operations Research and in the development of new approaches to applications.
The School’s core strength is our faculty, distinguished teachers and researchers, who build breadth and depth in fundamental science and methodological research.
Ph.D. candidates pursue focused and specialized interests in one of three areas of concentration:
- Applied Probability and Statistics
- Manufacturing Systems Engineering
- Mathematical Programming
The School’s current Doctoral Program includes approximately 40 students from many different countries and different undergraduate programs. Our community also includes frequent research and teaching visitors adding a rich perspective to the School.
