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 optimization, machine learning, and applied probability to model and tackle real-world problems. Applications include operations management, transportation, public sector and the human-AI interface. 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.
