I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Massachusetts Amherst. Previously I was a Postdoc Research Fellow in the area of Operations Management and Statistics at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, under the supervision of Ningyuan Chen, Ming Hu and Sheng Liu. I received my PhD in applied math (AMSC) from the University of Maryland, College Park. I was fortunate to be advised by Ilya Ryzhov.
My research focuses on stochastic black-box models and uncertainty quantification. I look for new perspectives, new frameworks, and new models at the intersection of statistics and operations.
