I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

In June 2024, I completed my PhD in the Risk Analytics and Optimization Lab at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. My PhD thesis focused on reliable data-driven decision-making through optimal transport, and I was advised by Daniel Kuhn

In 2018, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Middle East Technical University.
