I am a Ph.D. candidate in Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. My advisor is Dr. Oleg A. Prokopyev. You can find my CV here.
My research interests lie in operations research and its applications; particularly in decision-making problems under uncertainty. My dissertation is focused on sequential and hierarchical decision-making problems with incomplete information and learning. Besides, I have also worked on cascade optimization problems in networks, and preventive maintenance problems in manufacturing systems. Methodologically, my interests are mainly in bilevel, online, robust, and fractional 0-1 optimization, as well as stochastic processes and Markov decision processes.
