Short Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Royal Military College (RMC). Before joining RMC, I held postdoctoral positions at IESEG School of Management (France) and Ivey Business School at Western University, and served as a Lecturer at Edwards School of Business, University of Saskatchewan. I earned my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (Operations Research) from Kharazmi University. My research focuses on developing advanced optimization models and data-driven approaches to address complex problems in business, performance evaluation, and public-sector decision-making. I draw on techniques from operations research, mathematical programming, data analytics, and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to design interpretable and effective tools that support strategic planning and evidence-based decisions across sectors such as higher education, sustainability, healthcare, and public policy.
