I am a Principal Research Scientist in the AI division at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights. I am also a visiting scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

I graduated with a Ph.D in Operations Research from the Operations Research Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). My dissertation advisors were Prof. Cynthia Barnhart and Prof. David C. Parkes. I worked as a scientist in the Analytical Services division of Oracle Retail for about a year after I graduated from MIT and was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT for about two years after that where I was hosted by Prof. Munther Dahleh.
