I am a Research Faculty at the NSF Artificial Intelligence Research Institute for Advances in Optimization in the Georgia Tech School of Industrial and Systems Engineering working with Pascal Van Hentenryck and leading the supply chain group.

Broadly, I am interested in developing scalable, data-driven, and risk-aware solutions for supply chains and logistics. My research combines exact optimization algorithms with AI to improve production scheduling, service network design, and order fulfillment, with a longer-term agenda of bringing these decentralized yet interdependent components together into end-to-end supply chain planning solutions. In my view, moving from decentralized decision making into integrated planning systems is the defining challenge and opportunity of modern supply chains.

I received my PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering from NC State University, where I was advised by Osman Ozaltin and Reha Uzsoy. Prior to NC State, I received a BS in Industrial Engineering from the Islamic University of Gaza.
