I am a third-year PhD student in Operations, Information, and Decisions at Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hamsa Bastani.

My research is centered on developing and deploying machine learning (ML) algorithms and optimization for data-driven decision-making, particularly in the fields of healthcare, education, and social good initiatives.

My ongoing works focus on the use of large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning for education and global health, partnering with schools, hospitals, and governments across the globe. I am passionate about working with practitioners and policymakers to transform socially impactful research into real-world solutions.

Previously, I worked with the Asian Development Bank and in a national government legislature.

Check my recent work in collaboration with the Government of Sierra Leone at Analytics at Wharton’s Research Spotlight.
