About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Decision Sciences area and a Young Faculty Research Chair at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. My research focuses on developing operations research and machine learning techniques to address complex optimization problems in transportation, warehousing, and supply chain management.

I completed my PhD in Industrial Engineering at the University of South Florida in July 2025, where I conducted my doctoral research under the guidance of Dr. Hadi Gard and Dr. Changhyun Kwon. My dissertation research centered on solving large‑scale vehicle routing problems by developing new methodologies and tackling real‑world issues such as equitable workload allocation. Prior to my PhD, I served as a Research Associate at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. I hold a BS-MS dual degree in Mathematics from the National Institute of Technology Agartala (2019).
