It is based on Quilez’ work at Castle Metals while completing his INTM graduate student project, “Multi-Criteria Inventory Stratification and Its Linkage to Optimization.”

The ISE article, “Get Smart with Your Contracts,” was co-written with Alejandro Garach Martinez (MITO ’17) and Juan Martinez Rodriguez (MITO ’17), based on their graduate student projects about blockchain technology.
