IOMS Groups: Information Systems • Operations Management • Statistics
The Department of Information, Operations & Management Sciences (IOMS) is a common home to faculty whose research style is analytical or technology-based. Three Groups - Information Systems, Operations Management, and Statistics - combine their strengths and capabilities.
In the past ten years, the IOMS faculty have not only continued their considerable past achievements in research and teaching, but also have moved to the forefront of research in areas such as outsourcing and offshoring, online advertising, mining social media content and social networks, revenue management and pricing, stochastic processing systems, long memory time series, categorical data analysis, and strategic analysis of global warming.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the combined Information, Operation and Management Sciences (IOMS) Department. The current IOMS faculty and invited guests gathered to celebrate this milestone with an event held October 29, 2010, at NYU's Torch Club. Looking back, former professor Ernest Kurnow recounts the roots of what is now the IOMS Department. Current faculty, including Department Chair Michael Pinedo and W. Edwards Deming Professor Eitan Zemel, look ahead to the number of opportunities to collaborate and cross-fertilize research and ideas through the combined department.
