I work in the areas of decision analytics, operations and supply chain management, and public sector operations research. I have specific research interests in building forecasting and optimization (a.k.a. predictive and prescriptive analytics) decision models using data-driven optimization and machine learning.
My present focus is to address contemporary strategic and operational issues related to resource allocation and last-mile services delivery in healthcare, and urban logistics and mobility sectors.
