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

My research focuses on designing AI for better human decision-making and public sector operations. I develop and deploy machine learning, optimization, and human–AI systems to support data-driven decision-making in healthcare, education, public policy, and social good initiatives, particularly within marginalized contexts.

I have been fortunate to collaborate with schools, hospitals, and governments across the globe to develop and improve these systems through field experiments and deployments. I am passionate about working with practitioners and policymakers to transform socially impactful research into real-world solutions.

My work has been published in Nature and recognized with multiple awards. Check out my research here.
