Faidra Monachou

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—both its theoretical foundations and applications to public policy—with a focus on education operations. My research draws on operations research, economics, and data science to model and design operational, technological, and policy interventions that balance efficiency and fairness in settings of public interest. Several of my ongoing projects are motivated by collaborations with public school systems in the U.S. and Greece and focus on how AI shapes student learning and advising for high-stakes educational decisions, such as college applications.

Before joining Yale, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications 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 the National Technical University of Athens in Greece.
