About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at SKEMA Business School, affiliated with the Analytics and Operations Research Centre.

I completed my Ph.D. in Operations Research at Cornell University, where I was advised by Professor Huseyin Topaloglu at Cornell Tech. I am also fortunate to work with Prof. Dmitry Mitrofanov at Boston College and Prof. Paat Rusmevichientong at University of Southern California. I obtained a B.S. in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Columbia University and B.A. in Mathematics from Carleton College.

I am broadly interested in decision-making under uncertainty, with the goal of developing optimization models and data-driven algorithms to tackle complex operational problems. My research is motivated by challenges that emerge in real-world business settings, such as online retail and digital platforms, where I collaborate with Instacart to design and implement solutions that enhance platform efficiency and decision-making. Beyond theory, I validate these models using empirical data to quantify their business impact and demonstrate their practical relevance. Ultimately, my work seeks to bridge the gap between analytical modeling and real-world decision-making by leveraging industry collaborations to drive research with lasting impact.

I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection as part of the PiTech PhD Fellowship during the Summer of 2024.
