Che-Lin Su, University of Chicago, Booth School of Business
Associate Professor, Operations Management

Ph.D., Stanford University, 2005

It is with great sadness that we write this news. After a brief battle with an aggressive cancer, Che-Lin Su died at the end of July. Che-Lin was an Associate Professor of Operations Management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He was a large part of the Institute for Computational Economics over the last 8 years and was a pioneer in using constrained optimization for structural estimation. He has influenced many through his own impressive research and through the classes and lectures he has given to eager scholars anxious to learn from him. He was always cheerful and remained upbeat to the end. The Zurich Initiative for Computational Economics (ZICE) has lost not only one of its organizers, but a wonderful colleague and a great friend.
