Jisoon Lim (임지순) is a Ph.D. candidate in Civil Engineering at the University of Michigan (U-M). He is also a 2025 U-M Rackham Predoctoral Fellow and a 2024 FHWA Eisenhower Graduate Fellow (DDETFP).
Jisoon’s research focuses on transportation systems, including network modeling and optimization, game-theoretic policy design, and intelligent infrastructure planning. His work has received several distinctions, including the U-M Towner Prize for Distinguished Academic Achievement, the U-M CoE Distinguished Leadership Award, and the INFORMS Undergraduate Operations Research Prize.
Jisoon holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and he is also currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering at U-M.
I will be presenting at the upcoming 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting. I kindly invite you to attend my talk! I also look forward to connecting with you.
