Coming with a mathematical background, I pursued my master’s degree in industrial engineering focused on healthcare optimization. I earned my Ph.D. in Business Administration (minor in Health Management) in August 2022 from the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. Before pursuing my doctorate, I worked as a data analyst for more than six years. I have started a postdoctoral fellow position under the supervision of Prof. Manaf Zargoush (DeGroote School of Business/McMaster University).

My Research Interest:

My research interests lie at the interface of Data Sciences (particularly, responsible data science) and Operations Research, focusing on healthcare applications. I explore important and contemporary problems characterized by the underlying data that must be clearly understood before any subsequent decision analysis process. I am a strong proponent of data-driven analytical models and their applications in healthcare Operations Management and clinical decision-making.

My research interest can be categorized as follows:

a. Methodology

• Data Science/Analytics: Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), and Statistical Modeling for descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics
• Fair AI, Responsible Data Science
• Data-Driven Optimization
• Trajectory Analytics

b. Context

I am in the 2022-2023 academic job market.
