About me

I am an assistant professor at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, in the Data Analytics and Decision Sciences area.

My research focuses on marketplace and public sector operations. On the marketplace side, I am interested in data-driven decision-making, including experimentation and pricing. On the public sector side, I collaborate with K-12 school districts to solve complex problems at the frontier of optimization and policy. Some past projects include redesigning school bus routes in Boston, public school schedules in San Francisco, and course timetables at MIT.

Prior to joining Darden, I was an assistant professor in the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, and a postdoctoral fellow at Lyft Rideshare Labs. I completed my PhD at the MIT Operations Research Center in 2021. I also spent time as a research intern at Google on the Operations Research team.
