About Me
I’m an Assistant Professor in the Operations Department of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. From 2023-2024, I was a Postdoctoral Scientist in the Supply Chain Optimization Technologies group at Amazon, supervised by Garrett van Ryzin. I obtained my PhD in 2023 in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Peter Glynn.
My research interests are at the interface of applied probability and data-driven operations, with specializations in multi-armed bandits, reinforcement learning, statistical inference for stochastic processes, and stochastic simulation.
