About
I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Dr. Seth Guikema. My work combines simulation, graph theory, game theory, machine learning, and optimization towards risk and resilience analysis of critical systems: supply chains, communication networks, power infrastructure, etc.
Before my PhD, I worked in healthcare tech for 2 years. I also earned my B.S.E. and M.S.E. in IOE at UofM in 2020.
I’m on the 2026–27 academic job market and expect to complete my Ph.D. in 2027.

Industry experience
Managed projects from high-level operations to technical system details with nurses, analysts, directors, and executives; trained hospital and clinic staff onsite during go-lives.
Forecasted pandemic demand scenarios and used ProModel simulation to recommend capacity changes projected to raise inventory turns by 280%.
Valued a potential new truck center and analyzed shutdown and emissions data to identify $14M in cost-reducing measures.
