I am an Assistant Professor of Management Analytics for Social Good at the Telfer School of Management within the University of Ottawa.
My research focuses on developing and applying actionable analytics to solve health and humanitarian problems. I am interested in pursuing a diverse set of applications that are unified by my theoretical interests, which primarily focus on the interface between predictive and prescriptive analytics. I am particularly motivated by global and planetary health because I believe these areas have potential for significant practical impact, while motivating novel problem-driven theory at the intersection of optimization and machine learning.
My work has been recognized by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS): once been runner-up (2020) and twice finalist (2021, 2022) for the Pierskalla Best Paper Award, honorable mention for the Doing Good with Good OR Paper competition (2021), and as a PhD student, I won the Seth Bonder Scholarship for Applied Operations Research in Health Services (2017).
I received a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Statistics from Acadia University, a Ph.D. in Operations Research from the University of Toronto, and I was a postdoctoral associate with the Humanitarian Supply Chain Lab and the Center for Transportation and Logistics at MIT. Prior to joining the University of Ottawa, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and an Affiliated Faculty in the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
