I am a Postdoctoral Scientist at Amazon. My primary research interests are game theory and data-driven optimization, with a focus on applications in revenue management and auction markets. Prior to joining Amazon, I obtained my PhD in Operations Research from Columbia University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Santiago Balseiro and Christian Kroer.
In Fall 2025, I will be joining Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Operations Management.
