Enhancing Decision-Making and Efficiency

Empowering industries with innovative solutions through advanced mathematical modeling and cutting-edge technology.

Expertise

I apply AI, operations research, decision science, data science and computer science across diverse sectors, including:

  • Healthcare
  • Transportation
  • Telecommunication
  • Energy
  • Finance
  • Manufacturing
  • Sustainable Development
  • Information Technology

Results:

  • Streamlined operations and optimised resource allocation.
  • Reduced costs and increased revenues.
  • Developed advanced frameworks for operational and strategic decision-making, as well as policy development.

Selected Projects

Healthcare:

1. Enhanced Patient Quality of Care in a Large Teaching Hospital, London, UK.

  • Implemented optimised scheduling models that increased operating theatres utilisation from 50% to 80% for selected surgeries.
  • Achievements:
    • Decreased patient wait times for surgeries.
    • Reduced surgery cancellations.

2. Automated Nurse Scheduling Across Teaching Hospitals:

  • Leveraged data from the UK, US, Canada, Norway and Japan: Satisfying many conflicting requirements (work regulations, coverage, preferences).
  • Outcomes:
    • Increased the number of requirements fulfilled including all mandatory obligations.
    • Improved fairness in scheduling, nurse satisfaction and patient quality of care.

3. Optimised Surgery Scheduling in Norway:

  • Reduced patient wait times by 30%.
  • Scheduled surgeries based on patient health and preferences.
  • Adhered to maximum surgical team overtime limits.

4. Improved Linen Delivery in a large Montreal Teaching Hospital:

  • Achieved a 40% time savings and enhanced client satisfaction through optimised linen delivery routes.

Optimisation:

1. Operational Research and Computer Science, Nottingham, UK:

  • Developed hyper-heuristics, that stand out for their adaptability.
  • Demonstrated success across diverse domains, including but not limited to
    packing problems, transportation, logistics, healthcare scheduling and personnel scheduling.

2. Operational Research and Search Based Software Engineering – DAASE project (Dynamic Adaptive Automated Software Engineering), UK:

  • A UK multi-university collaboration across University College London, Stirling, Birmingham, Queen Mary, and Sheffield.
  • Redefined software engineering by using advanced computational techniques to embed adaptivity and flexibility in software processes and products.
  • Utilised meta-heuristics and hyper-heuristics to address complex, real-world challenges.

Transportation:

  • Collaborated with a large Public Transit Corporation, Montreal, Canada.
  • Improved passenger flow by 20% during special events through optimised staffing strategies.

Telecommunications:

  • Reduced equipment needs by 30% while maintaining service quality for a Belgian Telecommunications firm.

Finance and Financial Technology:

  • Extensive experience in global financial technology project management.
  • Successfully led large-scale initiatives, driving strategic business development across diverse markets.
  • Expertise in project assessment, business analysis, and financial engineering.
  • Delivered innovative solutions to enhance operational efficiency and increase market share.
  • Collaborated with stakeholders in Canada, the US, the UK, and Europe.
  • Managed complex projects from inception through successful execution.
  • Instrumental in ensuring seamless transitions post-mergers and acquisitions.
  • Maintained the highest standards of client confidentiality and risk management.
