Collette René Coullard is an American mathematician, industrial engineer, operations researcher, and matroid theorist known for her research on combinatorial optimization problems that combine facility location and stock management. Formerly a professor at Purdue University, the University of Waterloo, Northwestern University, and Lake Superior State University, she has retired to become a professor emeritus.
Education and career
[edit]Coullard graduated in 1980 from Lake Superior State University,[1][2] and earned her Ph.D. in 1985 from Northwestern University. Her dissertation, Minors of 3-Connected Matroids and Adjoints of Binary Matroids, concerned matroid theory and was supervised by Robert E. Bixby.[3]
She taught at Purdue University and the University of Waterloo[4] before returning to Northwestern as a faculty member in 1990,[2] and retired as a mathematics professor from Lake Superior State University in 2018.[5] She has also visited the University of Bonn as a Humboldt Fellow.[4]
Recognition
[edit]Coullard was a Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence at Northwestern University from 1996 to 1999.[1][2] In 2003, the Lake Superior State University Alumni Association gave her their annual Kenneth J. Shouldice Achievement Award.[1]
