Several healthcare problems require the use of advanced analytics employed from a systems view. As a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Management Science and Statistics at the University of Texas at San Antonio, I am developing optimization models to explore tradeoffs between equity, equality, and efficiency in scheduling models for healthcare providers. I am working under the supervision of Prof. Arkajyoti Roy and in collaboration with managers and physicians at University of Texas Health at San Antonio.
