I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech, affiliated with the NSF Artificial Intelligence Research Institute for Advances in Optimization (AI4OPT). My research focuses on developing solution approaches for problems in supply chain, logistics, and transportation, motivated by real-world applications and managing real-world data in solving these problems. Currently, as the Chief of Staff for Supply Chain Projects at the AI4OPT, I provide strategic and technical leadership in managing various supply chain initiatives. My recent research concentrates on leveraging AI and optimization methods for supply chain and logistics problems. More precisely, I optimize autonomous transfer hub networks, streamline truck fleet scheduling for fuel deliveries, apply predictive analytics for order fulfillment, and incorporate deep learning into supply chain optimization tasks.
