Dr. Madeleine Udell is an Assistant Professor of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E), with an affiliation with the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME).

The Udell group's research goal is to accelerate and simplify large-scale data analysis and optimization, with impact on challenges in healthcare, finance, marketing, operations, and engineering systems design, among others. Their work in optimization seeks to detect and exploit novel structures, leading to faster and more memory-efficient algorithms. Their work in machine learning centers on challenges of data preprocessing, interpretability, and causality, which are critical to practical application of machine learning methods.
