Biography

I am a Research Scientist in Modeling and Optimization (MOP) at Amazon working on supply chain optimization. I got my PhD in Operations Research from MIT working with Professor Georgia Perakis. My primary research interest lies at the intersection of Optimization and Machine Learning. I develope novel approaches and algorithms to enable data-driven decision-making on real world application.
