About
I am an Assistant Professor of Operations, Information, and Technology at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.
My primary research interests are in data-driven stochastic modeling of service systems with an emphasis on healthcare operations management.
I completed my PhD in Decision, Risk, and Operations from Columbia Business School. I did my undergraduate studies at Northwestern University.
