About Me


My name is Gal Neria. I am a PhD student in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Tel Aviv University, under the supervision of Professor Michal Tzur (2020-2025). My research primarily explores the integration of operations research and machine learning, with a focus on real-time optimization of dynamic stochastic combinatorial systems.


I previously completed my M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering with Summa Cum Laude honors at Tel Aviv University (2017-2019). My thesis explored the Dynamic and Stochastic Humanitarian Pickup and Distribution Problem (guided by Professor Michal Tzur).
