Research

Her areas of expertise include integration of operations research with behavioural models for transport, mobility and logistics networks. More precisely, her current major projects are related to combining revenue management, pricing and assortment optimisation methods to model supply and demand interactions especially in the context of last mile delivery and urban mobility systems. She develops algorithm for large-scale optimisation to solve industrial problems. She also uses AI in large-scale discrete optimisation in presence of uncertainty. Her research has been recognised by INFORMS as she has been the recipient of Early Career Award and best paper awards in 2017 and 2019 annual meetings.
