Himadri Sen Gupta is a PhD Candidate in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, where he also completed his Master of Science in the same field. Himadri is a dedicated Research Assistant working with two labs: the Community Resilience CORE Research Lab, a NIST-funded lab focused on improving community resilience against natural disasters, and the NetSys Research Lab, where he contributes to the NSF-funded CoPe project on coastal hazards and resilience.
Himadri is really making the most of his time at Oklahoma University (OU), where he is actively involved in several student organizations, such as INFORMS, IISE, and APICS Student Chapters. His enthusiasm for teaching and commitment to scientific projects truly shine through in everything he does. Before joining OU, Himadri made a positive impact as a lecturer at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where he built strong connections with both students and colleagues in the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering.
Himadri’s impressive leadership and skills have earned him plenty of recognition. As the faculty adviser for the MIST Student Chapter of the IEOM Society, he made valuable contributions to various groups during his time at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology. He took on important roles like General Secretary for the IEM Robotics and CAD Club and Publication Secretary for the IEM Association.
With a solid background in research, teaching, and leadership, Himadri Sen Gupta is on track to achieve great things and make meaningful contributions to the field of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
