I am an assistant professor of Operations at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. You can use the menu to explore my work.

My research focuses on the intersection of large-scale optimization and operations management, using methods from optimization, machine learning, and applied probability to model and tackle real-world problems. Applications include transportation systems and school operations. For example, I helped design Lyft’s matching algorithm, redesign Boston’s school transportation system, change the school schedules of San Francisco. These changes save tens of millions of dollars every year and benefit millions of people.
