Prospective Students

Thank you for your interest in working with me! I'm planning to be hiring 1–2 new students per year. If you are already an MIT student, please contact me directly.

I am affiliated with the Operations Research Center (ORC) at MIT. Admissions at the ORC are centralized; i.e., there is a central committee making the admissions decisions. So, please apply here for the PhD program at the ORC and list my name in your application.
