The INFORMS Minority Issues Forum is proud to announce the three finalists selected from a strong and competitive field of presenters:
Gabriel Lawrence
Adrian (Yuan) Ma
Mohammad Pourmatin
(listed in alphabetical order)
Our sincere thanks to every student who presented this summer. The quality of the research and the clarity of the presentations made the judges' work genuinely difficult, and each participant should be proud of what they shared.
The winner will be announced at the MIF Business Meeting during the INFORMS Annual Meeting 2026 in San Francisco. We hope to see you there to celebrate these outstanding young researchers.
Congratulations again to our finalists, and thank you to our judges and organizers for making this year's competition a success.
