There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Mohit Singh joined the Georgia Tech H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISyE) as the H. Milton Stewart Associate Professor in January 2017. Prior to this, he served as a researcher in the Theory Group at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington.
Singh’s research interests include discrete optimization, approximation algorithms, and convex optimization. His research is focused on optimization problems arising in cloud computing, logistics, network design, and machine learning.
Singh received the Tucker Prize in 2009 given by the Mathematical Optimization Society for an outstanding doctoral thesis “Iterative Methods in Combinatorial Optimization.” He also received the best paper award for his work on the traveling salesman problem at the Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) in 2011.
Previously, Singh was an assistant professor at McGill University from 2010-2011 and a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research, New England from 2008-2009. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2008 from Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.
