Uday V. Shanbhag is currently the Katta G. Murty Collegiate Professor in the department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Prior to arriving at Michigan in Fall, 2024, he held the Gary and Sheila Chaired Professorship in the department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) at the Pennsylvania State University (2017–2024), having arrived at Penn State in Fall 2012. Prior to being at Penn. State, from 2006–2012, he was first an assistant professor, and subsequently a tenured associate professor (for approx. 10 days), in the department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems engineering (ISE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). His research interests lie in the analysis and efficient resolution of optimization and game-theoretic problems in settings afflicted by uncertainty, nonsmoothness, nonconvexity, and hierarchy and the research finds applicability in energy systems and statistical learning. He places a strong emphasis on serving the community and currently serves on the editorial boards for four journals, including the SIAM Journal of Optimization and the Mathematics of Operations Research.
