How Sasha and I Started Collaborating on a Research Initiative

I think successful collaborations between academics and practitioners are not that numerous. I've been working with a few practitioners on the variety of topics. And this research collaboration is really a good example of what works well. It's basically we found formulations which are practically relevant and academic challenging. So it's attractive to me. It's a win-win collaboration. Maybe you mentioned Philippe as well. He did his PhD under my supervision. By the way, almost at the same time as Julia Monzuk received a prize from RISC Indeed. From indeed.
