Research Interests:

My research interests are in the area of service operations management, with a focus on healthcare systems and public policy. I use methodologies from operations research and data analytics to solve complex challenges in healthcare systems. Specifically, my work aims to develop and analyze public health screening strategies for genetic and infectious diseases, with a focus on maximizing detection accuracy under uncertainty, ensuring cost-efficiency, and promoting equitable outcomes. Additionally, my research tackles hospital scheduling problems, including the optimal allocation of clinicians and interpreters across hospital networks to enhance patient care. Another stream of my research involves emergency management, where I develop strategic disaster preparedness frameworks that dynamically pre-allocate medical supplies and create public-private partnerships for resource one mobilization during crises. Overall, my goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, working closely with healthcare professionals to develop implementable solutions that improve both patient outcomes and healthcare delivery.
