I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Management in the Department of Management at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and I am cross-appointed to the Operations Management and Statistics area at the Rotman School of Management.
My research centers on the operations of online platforms and marketplaces, with a particular focus on AI agents, recommendation systems, and dynamic matching. I study, both theoretically and empirically, how AI systems affect digital marketplaces.
Before joining the University of Toronto, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Algorithms, Data, and Market Design at Yale University. I received my PhD in Operations Management from Columbia Business School, and hold a Master's degree from the University of Michigan and a B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in Electrical Engineering.
