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