About Me

Hello! I am an assistant professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management as an Assistant Professor of Decisions, Operations, and Technology Management. 

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Leonard Davis Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. and B.S. from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. 

My research broadly focuses on problems in healthcare operations faced by a range of stakeholders, including startups, health systems, and governmental agencies, both in the US and abroad.
