Five student presentations at the 2026 KOPOMS Fall Conference

Our students shared five ongoing projects at Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, spanning healthcare, retail, and supply-chain operations.

All five studies were presented by students and coauthored with Hyun Seok (Huck) Lee. The discussions offered valuable feedback as the research continues to develop.
