Overview
The Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization Program curriculum at Georgia Institute of Technology provides required course work designed to ensure that students have a strong fundamental academic base that serves to facilitate and enhance their research options.
We have essentially eliminated the traditional walls that usually separate academic units: any program faculty member can supervise the research of any ACO student regardless of departmental affiliation.
Outcomes
ACO alumni have been very successful and have won prestigious awards from a variety of research and professional societies. Graduates of the Program can be found in myriad settings in both academe and industry; some have even chosen careers in finance.
