Hongyu Zheng defended his Ph.D. thesis successfully today.  His thesis committee consists of Karen Smilowitz (first from the left), Jane Lin (second from left) and Hani Mahmassani (first from the right).

Hongyu is my eleventh PhD student and the tenth to complete the PhD thesis defense.  He is joining the Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in August.

Congratulations, Hongyu!
