General

I have finished my doctoral program at The University of Texas at Austin. I majored in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering (ORIE) with a network optimization specialization. My academic interests include Transportation network analysis & optimization, network flow theory, algorithms and their implementations, and data science. UT Austin has also given me the opportunity to explore engineering education research as well as teaching and assessment techniques as an instructor. You can download my CV here and my dissertation here.
