About me

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University. Before joining Clemson IE, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at Northwestern University under supervision of Prof. Sanjay Mehrotra. I received my Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the Department of Integrated Systems Engineering at The Ohio State University, under supervision of Prof. Guzin Bayraksan. I also received my M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from The University of Arizona in 2012, and my M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2011 and 2008. My research has been recognized with several awards, including Runner-Up prize INFORMS Computing Society Student Paper Award (2017), 2nd Place prize in IISE Pristker Doctoral Dissertation Award (2019), and the Harold W. Kuhn Award (2022).

Research

My research focuses on data-driven decision-making and learning problems in uncertain and risky environments involving contextual data to develop robust and computationally efficient methodolody with theoretical gunarantees. In particular, my research interests include

  • Stochastic optimization

  • Data-driven optimization

  • Risk-averse and distributionally robust optimization Find out more.
