Awards of Previous Students
Undergradaute students
Ayako Watanbe was awarded the Best Student Paper Prize by the Canadian
Operations Research Society in the undergraduate category in 2003.
M.Sc. students
Supervised (co-supervised) more than 20 master students in OR. By the
T.U. Delft Foundation, four of them, A. Wisse (1994), S. Lanser (1995),
L.P. Aarts (1999) and A. de Jong (2000) were awarded the best M.Sc. thesis
of the year in the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics. Three of them
(Joost Warners in 1996, Arjan Berkelaar in 1997 and Lucie Aarts in 2000)
received the annual VVS-price (price of the Dutch Statistics and O.R. Society)
for the best master thesis in the field of Statistics and Operations Research
in the Netherlands.
Ph.D. students
Co-supervised eight Ph.D. students.
T. Illés received the Farkas Prize of the Bolyai Mathematical
Society, 1991 Budapest. D. Den Hertog, B. Jansen and J. Peng received their degree cum
laude. D. Den Hertog (in Ann Arbor, MI, 1994) and J. Peng (in Copenhagen, DK, 2003)
were a finalists for the "Tucker Prize" at the International
Symposium on Mathematical Programming. D. Den Hertog's (1993), B. Jansen's (1997) and
E. de Klerk's (2002) thesis were published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
Jiming Peng was finalist for the "Best Young Scientist Paper"
at the International Conference on Nonlinear Programming and Variational
Inequalities, Hong Kong 1998 and he was awarded the Stieltjes Ph.D. Thesis Prize
in the Netherlands. A monograph based on his thesis is published
by Princeton University Press in 2002.
