º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø co-hosts prominent international industrial engineering conference

June 12, 2025

Top industrial engineering and operations management professionals from more than 40 countries will gather in Central Florida June 17-19 for IEOM Society International’s 10th North American International on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management.

º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø and the University of Central Florida are co-hosting the event in Orlando, bringing together industry and academia to advance the discipline. º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø also hosted the international conference in 2022.

“Co-hosting this prestigious conference is a great opportunity for º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø, giving us more visibility to industry and other universities,â€� said Dr. Shahram Taj, event co-chair and chair of the University’s Department of Data Science and Business Analytics. “It’s also a valuable opportunity for networking among our faculty, industry practitioners, and faculty from other universities.â€�

Conference topics include artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, business and operations management, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. Keynote speakers include professionals from organizations such as the Walt Disney Company, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Blue Origin, and MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics. will feature experts in their field, including º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty such as Dr. Sanna Siddiqui, Dr. Onur Toker, Dr. Denis Ulybyshev, and Dr. Ian Bentley.

The event also includes 14 competitions in areas that include undergraduate research, doctoral dissertation, and global design, with º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty and students among the competitors and distinguished judges.

Tobias Syring, a º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø graduate student studying engineering management as a Fulbright Fellow, has assisted in organizing the Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IEOM) Society International’s event.

He also helped review submitted academic papers and will deliver a presentation on Industry 4.0 and enhancing its efficiency through digital twins. Industry 4.0 integrates advanced digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes. Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical systems that simulate events without disrupting the real system.

“You see what happens in the real world in the virtual world, so everything that could go wrong can go wrong in the digital world as well,� said Syring, from Rügen, Germany. “You can run simulations and see the breaking point in the physical system to figure out how to prevent it from happening.�

Taj said the prominent international conference is a testament to º£½Ç³Ô¹Ï꿉۪s growing reputation in the field.

“We are proud to help bring together global leaders and innovators to Central Florida to share knowledge and drive progress in industrial engineering and operations management,� he said.
