About me

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Decision Sciences Area at Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam. Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Integrated Systems Engineering at The Ohio State University, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Güzin Bayraksan. 

My research focuses on uncertainties in sequential decision-making problems, with a focus on multi-stage stochastic programs and constrained Markov decision processes. To tackle these challenges, I leverage advanced methodologies, including 

• sampling-based methods and scenario tree generation techniques for effectively modeling and approximating uncertainty in large-scale stochastic systems, 

• robust optimization to ensure resilience under uncertainty, 

• chance-constrained optimization to strike a balance between risk and reliability, and 

• distributionally robust optimization to address ambiguity in probability distributions. 

Through these methodologies, my research aspires to develop innovative, scalable, and robust strategies for navigating complex and dynamic uncertain environments.
