Welcome to my personal webpage!
I am
a tenured assistant professor at the Operations, Planning, Accounting, and Control (OPAC) group at the Eindhoven University of Technology,
an assistant professor at the Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI), and
an affiliated assistant professor at the University of British Columbia.
I am also a Member of the scientific steering group of the 4TU Resilient Center, a co-organizer of the Robust Optimization Webinar (ROW) series, and a co-chair of ISMP2027.
My research focuses on Mathematical Optimization from a practical perspective. More specifically, I am doing research in the area of Robust Optimization and Data-Driven decision-making.
In general, I am interested in:
Data-driven decision making
Robust Optimization
Resilient Engineering
Convex Optimization
Convex relaxation for Nonlinear Optimization
Regarding applications, I am interested in Supply Chain Networks and High-Tech industries.
