Hey there! I’m Mona. I’m just starting my Ph.D. in Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University. I’m currently working on a project with Gallo ORACL, and I’ve got the super-awesome Professor David Shmoys as my guide.

Before this academic adventure, I spent a year as a scientific intern at IST Austria, working alongside the brilliant minds of Professor Chatterjee’s group.

Back in my Sharif University days, I had the honor of teaming up with Professor Tefagh.

Research

I’m passionate about delving into the dynamic world where Computer Science and Economics meet, and that’s where Operations Research (OR) takes the spotlight. My focus? Harnessing the power of math and algorithms to craft smart solutions, especially in areas like Optimization, Revenue Management, and Mechanism Design. My Ph.D. journey has just begun, and I’m genuinely excited by the incredible research happening here, perfectly aligned with my interests. I’m eager to dive deeper into these fields and explore further.
So far I have worked on:

• Prophet Inequality
• Spectral Graph Theory
• Mechanism Design in Bitcoin
