Bio

As a Ph.D. student in Operations Research in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, I am pushing the research boundary in terms of theory and practice in the area of logistics and supply chain. My thesis centers on the development of efficient exact and heuristic algorithms for planning and scheduling problems arising in trucking and airline service networks.

Working with Dr. Alan Erera and Dr. Pascal Van Hentenryck under the Artificial Intelligence Institute for Advances in Optimization (AI4OPT) program, I am currently leading efforts in conducting cutting-edge research to solve large-scale inbound-outbound tactical load planning problems using machine learning and optimization.

I completed my undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, with a B.Tech in Industrial and Systems Engineering. My undergraduate thesis was based on Risk Propagation in Supply Chain Networks under the supervision of Dr. M. K. Tiwari. Next, I worked as an Operations Research consultant at TCG Digital, Kolkata.
