About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISyE) department at the University of Minnestota (UMN) - Twin Cities. I joined UMN in Fall 2022, before which I was a postdoctoral scholar at Rice University and a visiting postdoctoral fellow at Houston Methodist Hospital, working in the areas of optimization and organ transplantation. I received my PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Washington, Seattle, where my dissertation focused on robust dynamic programming.My research focuses on sequential decision-making in uncertain and dynamic environments, motivated primarily by applications in clinical decision-making, healthcare operations, and health policy. Specifically, my interests include
Methodology
- Markov decision processes
- Robust optimization
- Multiobjective optimization
- Infinite-dimensional optimization
Applications
- Organ transplantation: outcomes, allocation mechanisms, and federal policy
- Treatment planning
- Scheduling/operations in clinical settings
