Work Experiences 

  • General Motors (Summer Intern)                                                        2011
    • Project: Product Content Planning, Packaging and Pricing Project
    • The objective of this project is to integrate customer preferences into an optimization framework to identify new vehicle content, packaging alternatives, and prices to improve program aggregate contribution margin and share. The customer preferences that drive the analysis are estimated using clinic data from a choice-based conjoint analysis. Since there are various sources of uncertainty in estimating the customer preferences, we identified these sources and proposed various approaches to judge whether a certain decision setting is statistically better than another setting.
  • San Diego Supercomputer Center (Summer Intern)                             2008
    • Proposed and implemented various parallel approaches to find good shipping policies for complex multi-echelon inventory and production systems.
