I graduated with my Ph.D. in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization from Carnegie Mellon University in May 2018. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher under Andrea Lodi at Polytechnique Montréal.
You can find more information about me and my recent research on my CV. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my work.

- Old news: I founded the INFORMS Student Chapter at CMU, which I encourage the CMU community to join. The chapter has been recognized several times by INFORMS for its activities. I was also the founding chair of the YinzOR Student Conference, an annual student-led conference organized by CMU INFORMS.
Research
My research is on methodology and applications for discrete decision analytics. In particular, I work on developing new cutting plane techniques, as well as better models and algorithms for computational social choice applications focusing on the fair allocation of indivisible resources.Cutting plane methods
