About Me
My research uses optimization under uncertainty and AI to develop solutions for operations problems in business and government. I study emerging problems in election administration as well as fundamental problems in revenue management and dynamic optimization. Recent applications include election security, data-driven assortment planning, high-dimensional option pricing, and robust inventory control.
My work has been recognized by several research awards, including the INFORMS Harvey J. Greenberg Research Award, the Roger J-B Wets Junior Researcher Best Paper Prize in Stochastic Programming, second place in the INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group Paper Competition, and second place in the INFORMS George Nicholson Student Paper Competition.
Outside of academia, I am a co-founder of BallotIQ, a startup that uses optimization to improve election administration.
