I am an assistant professor (open-ended) in the Operational Research group within the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton, UK.

I received my habilitation in mathematics (2023), from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany where I worked from 2019-22. Before this, I worked at the Discrete Math & Optimization group at Sandia National Laboratories, US, from 2016-19.

I received both my PhD (2016) and Master's (2016) degrees in operations research from The University of Texas at Austin, US. My PhD work was advised by David Morton (optimization) and Lauren Meyers (biology). Here, I also received a portfolio in scientific computation (2015) from the department of statistics. I received my Bachelor's (2011) degree in chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, India.  Here is a short CV.

In 2024-25, I will be a visiting professor at TU Dresden, Germany as part of their Distinguished Research Fellowship.

I am the winner of the Mathematics 2023 Young Investigator Award. 

Data-driven decision-making under uncertainty (particularly using stochastic optimization models) - formulations, algorithms, and applications - is my key area of interest. See more, here. My research is funded, among others, by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Horizon 2020 program, and the US Department of Energy's LDRD program (see left).
