[DMANET] Tucker Prize 2021 -Second call for nominations

Dear colleagues,

This is a second call for nominations for the 2021 A.W. Tucker Prize.

As you may be already aware, the International Symposium on
Mathematical Programming (ISMP) is being postponed to August 2022,
instead of the originally planned dates in August 2021. However, the
Mathematical Optimization Society has decided to keep to the original
timeline for the Society's prizes and awards, including the A. W.
Tucker Prize.

As originally planned, the A.W. Tucker prize will be awarded to an
outstanding doctoral dissertation defended (and degree awarded) between
January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2021. The finalists and the winner will
be announced some time in the summer of 2021, possibly during the SIOPT
conference in July 2021. More details will be forthcoming soon. All
finalists will be invited to give oral presentations of their work at a
special session of ISMP 2022.

The deadline for nominations remains January 15, 2021. The nominator
must be a faculty member at the institution that awarded the nominee's
doctoral degree, or a member of the nominee's dissertation committee.
Applications should consist of the following four files, each of which
should be submitted as a single PDF file:

- a letter of nomination,
- the nominee's dissertation,
- a separate summary of the dissertation's contributions, written by
the nominee, that is no more than five (5) pages in length, and
- a brief biographical sketch of the nominee.

Nominations and the accompanying documentation must be written in
English. The nomination should be emailed to Amitabh Basu at
basu.amitabh@jhu.edu.

The call for nominations is also announced on the MOS website:
http://www.mathopt.org/?nav=tucker_call

Nominations will be evaluated by the 2021 A.W. Tucker Prize Committee,
with at most three finalists chosen for the prize.

More details about the prize can be found on the MOS website:

Best,
Laura Sanita
on behalf of the 2021 A.W. Tucker Prize Committee (Amitabh Basu, Frank
E. Curtis, Simge Kucukyavuz, Francesca Maggioni, Laura Sanita)
