Lehigh Engineering: Mathematical Optimization with Prof. Karmel Shehadeh

As a kid growing up in Amman, Jordan, Karmel Shehadeh knew she wanted to one day be a professor and a researcher. Today, she is an assistant professor in the department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. And at the end of her faculty profile, she includes an unusual line. It’s not a sentiment you typically come across in such write-ups, but it’s targeted toward a special group of students. In this episode, you’ll find out why she makes a point of including that sentence not only in her profile, but in the acknowledgement section of her research papers.
