Suresh P. Sethi is Eugene McDermott Chair of operations management and director of the Center for Intelligent Supply Networks at the University of Texas at Dallas.[1] He has contributed in the fields of manufacturing[2] and operations management,[3] finance[4] and economics,[5][6] marketing,[7] industrial engineering,[8][9] operations research,[10] and optimal control.[11] He is known for his developments of the Sethi advertising model and DNSS Points, and for his textbook on optimal control.[12]

His past and present editorial positions include departmental editor of Production and Operations Management, corresponding editor of SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, and associate editor of Operations Research, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and Automatica.

Education

Sethi received his PhD in operations research from Carnegie Mellon University and was a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University under the supervision of George B. Dantzig. He obtained a BTech with honors in mechanical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, an MS in industrial administration from Carnegie Mellon University, and an MBA from Washington State University.[1]

Academic career

Sethi is Eugene McDermott Chair of operations management and director of the Center for Intelligent Supply Networks at The University of Texas at Dallas. He has also taught at Rice University, University of Toronto, and Carnegie Mellon University. At University of Toronto, he was General Motors Research Professor (1988–92) and Connaught Senior Research Fellow (1984–85).[1]

Honors and awards

Two conferences have been organized in his honor: in Aix en Provence in 2005[13] and at UT Dallas in 2006.[14] Also, two books have been edited in his honor.[15][16]
