Bar Light

I am a Presidential Young Professor and Assistant Professor in the Department of Analytics and Operations at the National University of Singapore Business School. I am also an Affiliated Faculty at the Institute of Operations Research and Analytics and the NUS Artificial Intelligence Institute (NAII)

Before joining NUS, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research at Tel Aviv University's School of Mathematics and a Postdoctoral Researcher at Microsoft Research NYC. I obtained a PhD in Operations Research from Stanford University under the supervision of Gabriel Weintraub and Ramesh Johari, and an MSc in Operations Research from Tel Aviv University's School of Mathematics under the supervision of Ehud Lehrer.  

My research lies at the intersection of Operations, Economics, and Computation. Topics include market design and multi-agent learning in the context of online marketplaces, analysis of large dynamic economies, dynamic optimization and systems, and risk management. 

I have develop and teach courses on analytics and data science for online marketplaces at the BBA, MSBA, and PhD levels. I also taught dynamic optimization at the PhD level. 

Here are my lecture notes on dynamic optimization (PhD level).
