About

I am currently an assistant professor in Operations, Technology, and Information Management at the Johnson Graduate School of Management. I received my PhD from the Operations, Information, and Decisions (OID) department at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. My research develops adaptive learning algorithms for high-stakes operations problems with social impact, with a primary focus on healthcare. My work spans the design of clinical trials and public health interventions, the long-term evaluation and counterfactual redesign of anti-poverty and development programs, and technology innovation in areas such as renewable energy and drug development, though the methods apply more broadly to other areas as well.

My CV can be found here.
