I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Artificial Intelligence Institute for Advances in Optimization (AI4OPT) at Georgia Tech. My research focuses on leveraging AI and optimization solution approaches for problems in supply chain, transportation, and scheduling.
In my most recent work, I focus on major logistical problems related to natural disasters and the development of improved preparedness and recovery methods. Specifically, I optimize approaches for storing and distributing fuel on islands after a disaster and identify the best roads and bridges to upgrade to enable quick travel through cities after a flood event and mitigate its consequences.
