Experience

  1. Graduate Research Assistant

    University of Texas at Austin

    Project: Data-Driven Multimodal Freight Modeling for Waterways and Ports
    Sponsored by: US Army Corps of Engineers: Engineer Research and Development Center

    • Processed and integrated data across multiple freight transport modes.
    • Simulated disruption scenarios and analyzed resilience using discrete-event simulation.
    • Proposed a queueing-theory-based model for port network operating capacity.
  2. MITACS Globalink Research Intern

    Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières

    Project: Integrating waste and resource management — Data-driven optimization for urban mining logistics
    Sponsored by: Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS)

    • Modeled reverse logistics networks under uncertainty for Quebec wood industries.
    • Developed a scenario-based MILP and ALNS heuristic for network design.
    • Solved MILP using CPLEX; implemented heuristic in Python.
  3. Undergraduate Research Assistant

    Indian Institute of Science

    Project: Last mile electric vehicle lohsitics — Bi-objective steiner travelling salesperson problem
    Sponsored by: Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) Fellowship

    • Developed exact and heuristic methods for the Bi-criteria Steiner TSP with Time Windows.
    • Proposed a new MILP formulation and a six-operator local search heuristic.
    • Benchmarked performance on real-world logistics datasets (Amazon Austin).
