Once again, ISE’s stars shined brightly together for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. And shine brilliantly they did, making C.A. Anderson history with the first-ever tie for the coveted Anderson Award! One of our newest faculty members, Nur Ozaltin, and the retiring Paul Cohen won the night in a satisfying display of bookending.
Ozaltin joined the ISE faculty as a teaching assistant professor last year and taught supply chain economics, engineering economic analysis and computer-based modeling to graduate and undergraduate students. Her winning the Anderson Award this early in her career shows her skill in teaching the next generation of industrial engineers, which will only grow with experience.
In contrast, Cohen is an ISE veteran, having served as the previous Department Head and teaching numerous generations of ISE professionals. After such a stellar career with the department, it’s only fitting that he earns the Anderson Award before he retires in June.
