NORCROSS, Ga. - Michimich -- The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) held its first in-person Annual Conference & Expo in three years – held May 21-24 in Seattle – giving attendees a chance to honor the profession's best and brightest with live ap­plause and appreciation.

IISE's top award, the Frank & Lillian Gilbreth Industrial Engineering Award, went to IISE Fellow and long-time member Rajan Batta. "I am extremely grateful and humbled to receive IISE's Gilbreth award," Batta told ISE magazine. "Having spent my entire aca­demic career at the University at Buffalo, I believe that my receiving this award is a testament not just to myself, but also to its Industrial and Systems Engineering Department and its deeply supportive culture of encouraging scholarly excel­lence."

The Gilbreth award is sponsored by The Wm. Michael Barnes '64 Department of Industrial and Systems Engineer­ing at Texas A&M University and recognizes those who have distinguished themselves through contributions to the welfare of mankind in the field of industrial engineering.
