My specific research objectives involve bridging the gap between Operations Research and Machine Learning via computational methods and analyis. I have previously completed projects in time series forecasting and stochastic modelling, notably involving Hidden Markov Models. I also hold some conference publications, specifically in the field of Operational Research.

I am currently working on research related to deep learning, specifically bridging the gap between Deep Learning and Operations research. Also, I'm intereted in Reinforcement Learning and Stochastic Processes. Furthermore, I have experience in building production grade machine learning pipelines at scale for eCommerce and Ad-Tech industries.
