I am a fifth year PhD Candidate in Machine Learning in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. I am being advised by Professor Nicoleta Serban. My research interests include designing scalable and interpretable decision-making frameworks for large-scale problems under uncertainty, applicable to healthcare and transportation.

Research Interests

Grounded in practical decision-making challenges within the healthcare and supply chain, my research aims to empower decision makers to efficiently navigate massive data and complex systems for reliable insights by shaping the next-generation big-data decision intelligence platforms in three interconnected areas:

1. High-performance information infrastructures that ingest, refine, prepare, and monitor massive volumes of data for large-scale modeling and complex analytics
2. Structure-aware mathematical modeling methodologies that ensure the scalability and computational tractability in solving large-scale problems
3. Analytical frameworks that fuse machine intelligence with diverse human expertise for trustworthy decision-making
