About
Welcome! I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Decision Sciences at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.
My research develops algorithms with provable performance guarantees for problems in the scope of e-commerce fulfillment, vehicle routing, and sequential search. A common theme is understanding how algorithms perform as problem scale grows.
