About Me

Welcome! I’m a final-year PhD candidate in Management Science and Operations Management at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I’m advised by Professor Baris Ata. Previously, I received a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from UC Berkeley College of Engineering.

Research Interests

My current research focus is on queueing theory and computational methods for solving high-dimensional stochastic control problems.

I’ll be joining Amazon’s Worldwide Capacity Planning Team as a Research Scientist. Looking forward to this next chapter!
