Hi, I'm Craig! I'm a fourth-year Operations Research Ph.D. Candidate and Vanier Scholar at the University of Toronto, supervised by Professors Timothy Chan and Ningyuan Chen.
During my Masters, I explored various sports decision-making problems. Lately, I've focused on investigating operational and economic solutions for niche markets.
I visited the Tuck School of Business (Dartmouth College) during the Summer of 2024 and was a Data Scientist on Amazon's SCOT team during the Summer of 2021.
