CV

I am an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics at Carroll School of Management, Boston College. I received my PhD in Operations Management at NYU Stern School of Business. My research interests fall into the intersection of data-driven operations, machine learning, and decision analytics, with applications in car-sharing, ride-hailing, and retail industries.  More broadly, I strive to develop methodologies by combining data analytics with mathematical modeling which could lead companies to make effective operational decisions.
