Background
Operational Research & Machine Learning Specialist aiming to bridge the gap between operations research and machine learning
Interested in the theoretical foundations of learning algorithms
Research methodology focuses on stochastic optimization, including: Online learning (reinforcement learning, multi-armed bandits, etc.), Sequential decision making (Monte Carlo tree search, simulation, etc.), and Multi-agent competitive games (equilibrium computation, mechanism design, etc.)
Research goals combine theoretical analysis and empirical algorithmic results
Applications in operations management (e.g., competitive supply chains, revenue management) and control theory (e.g., robotic control, swarm robotics)
Experienced in building production-grade machine learning pipelines at scale for eCommerce, legal tech, and ad-tech companies
