Academic Achievements
- 2015 INFORMS Optimization Society Prize for Young Researchers, 2014 INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group (JFIG) Best Paper Award. Her research has been supported by grants including an NSF CAREER Award, an ONR grant (with S. Küçükyavuz), and an AFOSR grant. Advised students who received recognitions such as the 2021 INFORMS Optimization Society Best Student Paper (1st prize).
Research Experience
- Associate Professor of Operations Research at Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, and also an Associate Professor of Computer Science (by courtesy) at the Department of Computer Science, affiliated with the Algorithms Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) PhD Program. Long-term visitor in the Bridging Continuous and Discrete Optimization program organized by Berkeley's Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing in Fall 2017.
Education
- PhD: H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering Department, Georgia Institute of Technology, with a minor in Mathematics, supervised by Prof. Arkadi Nemirovski; B.S. and M.S. degrees: Industrial Engineering Department, Middle East Technical University, with a minor in Information Systems.
Background
- Research interests broadly in Operations Research, Analytics, and Machine Learning. Currently working on developing foundational theory and algorithms for convex optimization and structured nonconvex optimization, and their applications in optimization under uncertainty (robust optimization, chance constraints and distributionally robust optimization), machine learning (preference learning from limited data) and business analytics.
Miscellany
- Advised multiple PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, and had wonderful opportunities to collaborate with many PhD students.
