I am a postdoctoral fellow in Industrial Engineering with a research focus at the intersection of operations research, health services, and spatial data science and analytics. My work centers on improving access to care for underserved populations by developing data-driven and optimization-based approaches to healthcare delivery. I am particularly interested in understanding how geographic, social, and system-level factors shape disparities in access to critical services, including addiction treatment and behavioral health.
My current research integrates large-scale claims data, geospatial analysis, and mathematical modeling to evaluate accessibility to healthcare providers and identify gaps in service delivery. I aim to design scalable, equitable solutions that inform policy and improve health outcomes, especially in resource-constrained settings.
In addition to research, I am actively engaged in teaching and mentoring, where I emphasize real-world applications of engineering methods and encourage students to think critically about the role of equity in system design. My long-term goal is to contribute to the development of more inclusive and efficient healthcare systems through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative analytical approaches.
