I am Ignacio Erazo, a fourth year Ph.D. candidate at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research interests include the development of efficient optimization algorithms and heuristics for intelligent decision-making, but also large-scale simulation-optimization procedures. Ever since joining Georgia Tech I have been working under the supervision of Prof. Alejandro Toriello and Prof. David Goldsman; and I am currently looking for opportunities in industry, starting in December 2023.
