Hello! I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Industrial Engineering. My research investigates healthcare analytics, data-driven decision support, and operational planning management in the context of clinical data and practice. Specifically, my research focuses on developing and applying operations research and data analytics methodologies to identify practical and effective decision making tools to improve care efficiency, patient safety, and cost-effectiveness. I received my PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, MS in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, and BS in Information and Industrial Engineering from Yonsei University [CV].
