On the Run for Research
Systems Engineering and Operations Research master's student Ricky Neary gathers data at the Marine Corps Marathon Expo on October 30. He and team members Nghia Nguyen, Mumtahina Muahmud, and Elshaday Yilma headed to D.C.'s National Harbor to gather data for a capstone project that they hope will generate a mathematical model for Marathon organizers to use to help with Expo planning for the next several years. The team will share their results at the end of the semester.
