I am an Assistant Professor in the Analytics and Operations Group at Imperial College Business School (ICBS), affiliated with the Imperial-X initiative on interdisciplinary AI/ML.
My research interests lie at the intersection of optimization, machine learning, and statistics, and their applications in business analytics and renewable energy. I am particularly interested in building bridges between different theories of optimization, and using these bridges to facilitate solving previously intractable problems. For instance, in my PhD thesis, we proposed a generalization of integer optimization that tackles rank constraints. I am also interested in using optimization to facilitate a rapid and economically viable transition to a low-carbon economy.
I have been fortunate enough to receive a number of recognitions for my work, including an IBM Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship (2022-23), the Nicholson Prize (2020), the INFORMS Computing Society Student Paper Award (2019), and the Pierskalla Award (2020).
Prior to joining ICBS, I spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at IBM Research (Cambridge, MA). I received my PhD in Operations Research from MIT, where I was advised by Dimitris Bertsimas. Before coming to MIT, I received a BE in Engineering Science from the University of Auckland.
