home page Research highlightI am broadly interested in data-driven decision-making under uncertainty with application to energy and chemical process systems. My research interests include integrated machine learning and optimization under uncertainty, deterministic global optimization, and scalable solution methods for stochastic optimization. |  | Educational Background/Employment:- Ph.D. (2018) Chemical Engineering, MIT
