I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at Yale School of Management. I am also a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Algorithms, Data, and Market Design at Yale (CADMY).
I am interested in market design and operations for public policy, with a particular focus on education. I use mathematical tools from operations research, economics, and data science to design operational, technological, and policy interventions that optimally balance efficiency and fairness.
Before joining Yale, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University. I received my Ph.D. in Operations Research from the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. I hold an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from National Technical University of Athens in Greece.
