Honors & Awards

Biography

I got my Ph.D. degree in the field of industrial engineering. My primary research interests include operations research, data analysis/business analytics, predictive and prescriptive analytics, machine learning, quantitative management, operations management, and optimization. In particular, I have focused on developing a new metaheuristics approach to combinatorial optimization problems and a fuzzy approach to multi-criteria decision-making problems. I have several papers published in prestigious academic journals and numerous national and international conference papers. In addition, I have teaching experience in diverse fields within the business school, namely data analysis, business analytics, and machine learning algorithms.
