My name is Katherine Adams and I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Management Science and Statistics at the University of Texas at San Antonio working under the supervision of Prof. Arkajyoti Roy. Previously, I obtained my PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison advised by Profs. Justin Boutilier and Yonatan Mintz.

I am originally from Brazil, a country known for its diversity and culture, but also for its stark inequalities. This upbringing would later lead me to dedicate myself to helping reduce health disparities and improve healthcare systems globally. Being a Math lover from a young age, I found ISyE and operations research to be the best path to achieve this goal.
