Meet Yahya Fathi, Director of Graduate Programs and Professor in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A young man\u2019s passion for mathematical methods and analytical techniques led him on a journey from Iran to Raleigh, North Carolina. This journey included several stops along the way. Each of which helped him find the right direction.<\/p>\n

Growing up in Iran, Yahya Fathi was like many young men and pursued his education in engineering. \u201cEngineering was quite fashionable in Iran at the time,\u201d said Dr. Fathi. \u201cIt seemed like the reasonable thing to do.\u201d So he enrolled at the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran to get a degree in electrical engineering. During his second year, Fathi discovered that Iran had a great need for industrial engineers. So he wrote a letter to the president of the university requesting a transfer. Luckily for NC State, they granted his request.<\/p>\n

Upon receiving his degree, Fathi traveled to the U.S. to pursue a master\u2019s degree in industrial engineering. He enrolled at the University of Michigan where he would not only receive a master\u2019s degree but a Ph.D. as well.<\/p>\n

After graduation, Dr. Fathi took a visiting assistant professorship position at Georgia Tech. But after a couple of years, he decided to pursue a career with an engineering consulting firm in Europe. \u201cI wanted to see what it was like in the industrial [engineering] world,\u201d said Dr. Fathi. \u201cI traveled to Korea working for this Italian company which was an exciting thing. But after a short time I realized that I wanted to be in academia.\u201d<\/p>\n

So he returned to Georgia Tech and began looking for a permanent teaching position. His first position was assistant professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Later he applied for a faculty position at NC State. \u201cAt that time NC State was a growing program and there was a lot of excitement,\u201d said Dr. Fathi. \u201cLuckily for me, they accepted my application.\u201d That was 1984. Dr. Fathi became the co-director of the Operations Research Program in 2003. In 2010, the department named him Director of Graduate Programs. \u201cIt is the interaction with the students that I find is the most satisfying aspect of the job,\u201d said Dr. Fathi. \u201cIt gives me the opportunity to meet and talk with the students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Fathi shared one of the most satisfying experiences of his career. He started working with the Furniture Manufacturing and Management Center and a small consulting firm in Raleigh, Barr-Mullin, Inc. The project involved cutting methods used by wood processing companies in North Carolina. \u201cWith funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), we developed more efficient methods for cutting wood. This allowed them to get more useable wood out of each tree,\u201d said Dr. Fathi. \u201cThose savings translated into higher profits and the need for fewer trees at the same time.\u201d The project was so successful that its results were adopted by many lumber processing mills around the world.<\/p>\n

Today Professor Fathi continues his teaching, research and his love of gardening. \u201cI like to grow things. That is what I like to do. But I couldn\u2019t make a living out of growing things. Some people can, but I couldn\u2019t,\u201d joked Dr. Fathi. \u201cI also love literature and poetry from all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"
