Min-hwan Oh

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Operations Research with Data Science specialization at Columbia University. I am advised by Prof. Garud Iyengar and co-advised by Prof. Assaf Zeevi. My primary research interests are in sequential decision making under uncertainty, reinforcement learning, bandit algorithms, interpretable machine learning and their applications.
I have also had the pleasure to work on projects with the Center for Computational and Statistical Learning at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.
