I hold a Doctoral Degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Miami (obtained in Fall 2023). Presently I am serving as a Post-doctoral Scholar at Northwestern University working with Dr. Jennifer Dunn on evaluating the economic and environmental feasibility of emerging technologies for transitioning wastewater treatment systems to resource recovery facilities. With a geographical focus on the wastewater sector in Illinois, our research aims at determining sub-divisions where municipal waste is more reliable, environmentally and economically feasible for recovering resources.

I am an Operations Research (OR) Scientist with a strong passion for optimizing systems and driving impactful change. With a solid background in combinatorial optimization, risk assessment, spatiotemporal analytics, uncertainty quantification, and applied Machine Learning, I am dedicated to applying my expertise to real-world challenges with a specific interest in sustainability and resilience-related applications.

Throughout my PhD, I worked under the supervision of Dr. Murat Erkoc. My Doctorate Research titled ‘’Resilience Assessment & Adaptation Planning of On-Site Wastewater Treatment & Disposal Systems.” I studied modeling infrastructure systems’ resilience to climate change stressors such as sea-level rise, and developing data-driven decision models to inform adaptation policy making.
