About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Technology and Operations Management at INSEAD.

I received my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from the University of California, Berkeley, where I was fortunate to be jointly advised by Zuo-Jun Max Shen and Anil Aswani. During my time at Berkeley, I gained experience working with the data science and advanced analytics teams at Meta and Apple. I hold B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Engineering from the Middle East Technical University.


Research

My research designs stochastic data-driven models and computational algorithms for operations management (OM) involving strategic agents with information asymmetries, which manifest by limitations in data that is shared between parties. This work revitalizes classical OM theory by drawing from a diverse spectrum of techniques in online sequential learning, statistics, artificial intelligence, optimization, and principal-agent theory.

I am particularly interested in exploring applications in the domain of (environmental) sustainability analytics, where I specialize in formulating sustainable business operations that effectively mitigate the climate crisis. Moreover, my work holds wide practical relevance, extending to areas such as supply chain management and healthcare analytics.
