S. Srivatsa Srinivas

I am an Assistant Professor in the Centre for Mathematical and Computational Economics (CMCE), School of AI and Data Science (SAIDE) at IIT Jodhpur. I completed M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Game Theory and Operations Research at the Department of Management Studies, IIT Madras. My doctoral thesis focused on analyzing queueing game-theoretic problems in the service operations context. During my doctoral studies, I was a recipient of the prestigious Institute Research Award presented by IIT Madras to select doctoral scholars. I held a short research associate position post Ph.D. in the Production & Quantitative Methods Area at IIM Ahmedabad. Earlier, I completed B.E. Industrial Engineering at the College of Engineering, Guindy with a University Gold Medal. My areas of interest include queueing game theory, services and logistics management, public policy modeling, and game theory applications.
