AMPL Fireside Chat

Preparing OR Students for Industry Practice

Operations Research education builds strong OR foundations but industry expects OR graduates to go further. Employers look for practitioners who can frame complex, real-world problems, communicate trade-offs, and develop optimization models that are deployable, not just solvable.

Join Eduardo Salazar (AMPL) for a fireside chat with Prof. Alexandra Newman (Colorado School of Mines, INFORMS Prize winner for Teaching the Practice of OR/MS, and Editor-in-Chief of the INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics) as they discuss how OR education can better reflect industry practice and prepare students for applied OR careers.

Talks on the Road

INFORMS Annual Meeting 2025

At the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting AMPL showcased how students and researchers can turn academic learning into real-world impact. Read about how AMPL integrates with Python, R, Jupyter, Colab, VS Code, and top commercial solvers (Gurobi, CPLEX, Mosek, Knitro and more) to power large-scale, industry-grade optimization.

Webinar with Nextmv: A stochastic facility location example

Industry decision science applications must be adaptable and accessible for stakeholder buy-in and collaboration. Integrating AMPL for modeling, Nextmv for deployment, and Streamlit for visualization enables teams to accelerate real-world impact.

Join Filipe Brandão (AMPL Head of Development) and Nicole Misek (Nextmv VP of Engineering) as they discuss the benefits of this integration, share insights, and walk through a live demo using a facility location optimization example with stochastic models and multiple constraints.
