Science Faculty is two-time winner of George E. Nicholson
Best Paper Award
 In
November 2004, Assistant Professor Melvyn Sim from the Department
of Decision Sciences won the second prize in the George E.
Nicholson Student Paper Competition, the most prestigious
student paper competition in the United States in the field
of Operations Research and Management Science (OR/MS).
This is the second time Dr Sim clinched a top
award in the competition. His first accolade with the competition
was winning the second prize for his paper, “Robust
Discrete Optimisation” in October 2002. The two awards
make Dr Sim the only individual to have won a top award twice
since the annual competition started in 1975.
Asst Prof Sim completed his second award-winning
research paper, “Robust Conic Optimisation” while
he was still a senior tutor at NUS Business School and pursuing
his PhD with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Both of his winning papers addressed optimisation
uncertainties in finance, logistic control, supply chain design
and engineered systems.
The first prize went to Yuval Nov from Stanford
University.
