I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Management Science/ Operations Research at The University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, advised by René Caldentey and Rad Niazadeh. Before Booth I completed a master’s in Finance & Economics at the London School of Economics and an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology.
I study the interplay of operations, economics, and computer science, applying a mathematical lens to real-world platform challenges. I am fundamentally driven by the operational frictions of the modern gig economy: how can platforms run highly scalable, automated real-time algorithms while simultaneously managing the complex incentives of a decentralized, independent workforce? To resolve this tension, my Ph.D. research tackles the challenges arising from this tight coupling of operations and incentives, exploring new paradigms in online resource allocation, marketplace matching, and platform market design.
I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market!
