Izzy Grosof

Izzy Grosof is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering. His research focuses on optimization and performance analysis of stochastic queueing models, particularly in modern computing systems. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University and dual degrees (B.S. and M.Eng.) in Computer Science from MIT.

Key research areas include scheduling theory, multiserver systems, tail latency reduction, and scheduling with predictions. His work often involves developing analytical frameworks like the RESET and MARC techniques for multiserver-job analysis, as well as exploring optimal scheduling policies in heavy-traffic scenarios.

Recent publications emphasize advancements in multiresource job scheduling, M/G/k systems, and reinforcement learning applications in queueing systems. His contributions address both theoretical challenges and practical implementations in distributed computing and resource management.

Grosof's research has been disseminated through top-tier journals and conferences, with a focus on performance evaluation and algorithmic innovation in stochastic systems.
