Mathematics of Operations Research is pleased to publish a new interview in our ongoing series In Conversation with..., which focuses on changemakers in operations research who have published in the journal.
In this third article, INFORMS interviews Aharon Ben-Tal, who, with co-author Arkadi Nemirovski, conceptualized the field of robust optimization. Below is a short excerpt from the interview:
INFORMS: Could you share some of your tips for the early career researcher who is reading this article?
BEN-TAL: First, if offered a full faculty position right after receiving your PhD, don’t give into the temptation to take it. You’ll likely be better off trying to get a good postdoc position. This will make a more substantial contribution to your future career. Second, target top-rated journals right from the start when determining where to submit your research papers (“quality before quantity”). Third, diversify your research area beyond that of your PhD thesis. Fourth, try to enter an application area where you feel that you can make a contribution.
