Research
My research focuses on applying mathematical optimization and simulation to real-world problems in transportation, logistics, and public safety. I develop computationally efficient methods that help decision-makers manage complex systems – from balancing passenger flows in urban transit to optimizing warehouse operations in e-commerce.
Current Topics
Active projects exploring optimization and evaluation in transportation and logistics systems.
SKU-Warehouse Allocation Optimization
Optimizing SKU-Warehouse allocations to minimize split parcels in e-commerce environments, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs in warehouse management.
On-Demand Bus Service Evaluation
Assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of flexible bus services that adapt to passenger demand in real-time, offering more sustainable and user-centric public transportation solutions.
Real-Time Passenger Flow Balancing
Developing a computationally efficient optimization approach for real-time passenger flow balancing in urban rail transit systems to address overcrowding during peak demand.
