I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department, the University of Toronto. I am a member of the Toronto Intelligent Decision Engineering Laboratory (TIDEL) under the supervision of Prof. Chris Beck. My research covers both applied and theoretical aspects of modeling and solving hard resource allocation and optimization problems. My applied research examines the use of Operations Research (OR) and System Dynamics to tackle challenges faced in northern Canada, particularly in transportation, healthcare access, and food security, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. My theoretical research focuses on designing both exact and approximate algorithms to address challenges in job scheduling and graph theory.
