Himadri Sen Gupta, a PhD student in the NetSys Research Lab, has recently been honored with a selection for the prestigious IISE Future Faculty Fellows (3F) program for the academic year 2023-2024. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy given the highly competitive nature of the program, which received a multitude of applications from exceptionally qualified candidates from various universities across the US.
The IISE 3F program aims to equip future faculty members with a comprehensive understanding of the academic job market and to furnish them with essential skills to navigate the faculty hiring process successfully. As part of the program, Himadri will attend monthly seminars covering a broad range of topics, such as career panels, deans and chairs panels, job application and interview processes, negotiation techniques, and professional networking and engagement.
Further enriching this educational experience, Himadri will be paired with a faculty mentor for regular one-on-one meetings, offering an invaluable resource for professional development. The program will culminate in a conference event at the 2024 IISE Annual Conference, which is expected to be held in Montreal, Canada.
Himadri’s selection for this program shows his commitment and capability in the field of Industrial and Systems Engineering. His work in the NetSys Research Lab has already made an impact, and this opportunity will amplify his contributions.
Please join us in congratulating Himadri on this fantastic achievement. It’s a testament not only to his hard work but also to the quality of research and education we aim for in our lab.
