Overview

I am a PhD Candidate in Operations Management at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. Before pursuing my PhD, I completed my undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, in 2016, where I majored in Mechanical Engineering and minored in Electrical Engineering.

My research examines labor supply dynamics in the gig economy and develops optimal strategies for service providers managing flexible workforces. I employ data-driven analytical modeling and econometric models in my work.

Research Interests/Methodologies: Gig Economy, Service Operations, Data-driven Modeling, Stochastic Modeling, Causal Inference, and Large-Scale Optimization.
