Research Interests

My primary research interest is to leverage mathematical optimization, machine learning, and data analytics to develop analytical and algorithmic solutions for complex problems in healthcare systems and medicine. My recent research has focused on problems related to operations management and medical decision making. My work on stochastic surgical scheduling addressed open challenges about recovery resource constraints and real-time schedule adjustment. I have developed novel reinforcement learning methods for real-time management of patient flow in Radiology practice at Mayo Clinic. I am also collaborating with medical physicists and radiation oncologists at Mayo Clinic to use predictive analytics and machine learning for medical decision making in prostate cancer treatments.
