About me
I am an Assistant Professor of Analytics at the State University of New York Brockport School of Business and Management. My research lies on modeling, analyzing, and optimizing the actions of strategic customers in congestion service systems. To address the questions that interest me, I integrate queueing theory, stochastic modeling, game theory, and mechanism design to tackle complex questions such as equilibrium behaviors of customers and service systems design. My research aims for researchers and service providers with enhanced capabilities to analyze and optimize system performance.
I received my Ph.D. in Operations Management at Simon Business School, University of Rochester, under the supervision of Professor advised by Professor Ricky Roet-Green.
