I am a third-year PhD student in Operations Management and Statistics at the University of Toronto, Rotman School of Management, where I am fortunate to be advised by Azarakhsh Malekian and Ming Hu. I am interested in the role of uncertainty in markets from both the supply and demand perspectives. In particular, I study how buyers’ uncertainty affects mechanism design and how limited price experimentation impacts pricing decisions. Before Rotman, I achieved a master’s degree in Applied Mathematics and a bachelor’s in Mathematics and Applications from Sharif University of Technology, Iran.
