I am a Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Business Analytics at The University of Sydney Business School.
My research focuses on data-driven optimization models and scalable algorithms for decision-making problems under uncertainty.
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate (from September 2019 to May 2020) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I completed my PhD in 2019 at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University.
Research
I employ techniques from large-scale optimization, machine learning and statistics to better understand the challenges and capabilities of decision making models under uncertainty.
I have also worked on applied optimization tools for choice modelling, portfolio selection, electronic trading, and solution design of IT services.
