Biography
I am a Professor at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization of the University of Waterloo.
I did my PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization at GeorgiaTech under the supervision of Bill Cook.
I was the recipient of the 2008-2009 IBM Herman Goldstine postdoctoral fellowship and an Early Research Award.
My research interest is to develop exact methods for hard discrete optimization problems, and apply them to practical problems. I have worked with cutting planes for general mixed-integer programming, vehicle routing problems, bilevel optimization, stochastic programs and applications in medicine, scheduling, group decision-making.
If you are interested in joining my group, please see the Students section.
