I am an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics at the Carroll School of Management, Boston College. I received my Ph.D. in Technology & Operations from the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.

My research interests are in revenue management and societal operations. I study how the acquisition, quality, and visibility of data shape operational and policy decisions, with applications to inventory management, pricing analytics, public resource allocation, and AI regulation. Methodologically, I develop stochastic models and machine learning algorithms using tools from optimization and statistics.

I'm interested in collaborating with self-motivated undergraduate/graduate students and RAs with backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, optimization, economics, or computer science who are interested in pursuing PhD in OM/OR. Please reach out via email if you would like to discuss potential research opportunities!
