I am a simulation modeller with a background in physics, complex systems, and healthcare modelling. I build models using system dynamics, discrete-event simulation, and hybrid approaches to understand how systems evolve over time across healthcare, supply chains, and other operational settings. My work focuses on bottlenecks, demand-capacity constraints, resource allocation, and system resilience.
I also develop interactive dashboards and simulation-based decision-support tools that allow users to test policies, explore scenarios, and assess the potential impact of decisions before implementation.
I received my PhD in Physics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, with a focus on nonlinear dynamics and complex systems. I have worked across multiple institutions, including the University of Notre Dame, the University of South Florida, and the University of Galway.
If your organisation has a complex operational problem that could benefit from simulation modelling or scenario testing, I’d be happy to connect and explore potential collaboration.
