About me

I am an assistant professor of Business Analytics at the Driehaus College of Business at the DePaul University. I worked as a post doctoral research fellow at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. I received my PhD in Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences from the Northwestern University. I received my bachelors and masters in Industrial Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology. My research interests are the application of data-driven stochastic modeling and queueing theory in supply chain management, service operations and healthcare.
