Hello there. I am a Ph.D. student in the Industrial Engineering Department at Penn State. Over the last few years, my work has taken me across academic and industrial domains, each of which proffered a unique challenge that I was able to solve using a combination of mathematical models and advanced analytics. I have employed machine learning models and optimization techniques, and my current research, in collaboration with the Biomedical Engineering Department, utilizes network science and natural language processing tools to mine insights from scholarly articles, thereby guiding the course of scientific inquiry. My pursuit of a Ph.D. was driven by my desire to understand the mathematical subtleties of optimization and machine learning. My focus is on extending the boundaries of Operations Research to develop innovative and impactful solutions.
