Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Operations Research at Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College. I am affiliated with the the CMU-NIST AI Measurement Science & Engineering Cooperative Research Center (AIMSEC) and Block Center for Technology and Society.

My research leverages optimization and machine learning to improve healthcare in both clinical and operational settings. I am particularly interested in the use of ML/OR to broaden healthcare access and improve patient outcomes, and the responsible development and deployment of such tools in practice. I am motivated by real-world problems identified with clinical collaborators, spanning oncology, transplantation, pediatric trauma, and COVID-19. My work involves methodological development and applied modeling to devise generalizable solutions to these problems.

I completed my PhD at the Operations Research Center at MIT, working with Professor Dimitris Bertsimas. I previously worked as an ML/OR researcher at Flatiron Health and Data Scientist at athenahealth.
