Previously, she worked as an assistant professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam, in the group of Operations Research and Logistics. She holds a PhD in Mathematics (operations research) from Polytechnique Montreal where she received doctorate excellency award at University of Montreal (CIRRELT) as well as Michael Florian Award for best PhD thesis research award in Canada. Her areas of expertise include integration of operations research with behavioural models for transport, mobility and logistics networks (Choice Driven Optimization). More precisely, her current major projects are related to: (i) developing methods to tackle uncertainty with a special focus on forecasting and scenario generation for passenger mobility and parcel delivery services; (ii) combining pricing and assortment optimisation methods to model supply and demand interplay for last mile trip/delivery; (iii) developing real-time methods to incorporate in combinatorial optimisation framework for large-scale transport problems; (iv) special focus on designing sustainable multi-modal transport systems; and (v) introducing solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change on transport networks. She is an Associate Editor at Transportation Science, an editorial board editor at Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, editorial board member of Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies. She serves as an Associate Editor of Nature Series (npj) Sustainable Mobility and Transport journal. She has served as guest editor of three special issues at Transportation Science (2021-2023), EURO Journal of Transport and Logistics (2021-2023) and OR Spectrum (2023-).
