Research Interests
I am a 5th year Ph.D. student at Columbia IEOR advised by Adam N. Elmachtoub. I am broadly interested in the theory and practice of revenue management, with a particular emphasis on pricing. My research demonstrates the effectiveness of novel pricing strategies in emerging e-commerce markets.

Before coming to Columbia, I received a B.S. in Mathematics from Rutgers University.
