I am an Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, University College London. My research aims to understand customer choice from a data-driven perspective and provides operations insights using machine learning and optimization techniques. I received my PhD from the UCLA Anderson School of Management, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Velibor Mišić.
