Research

My research focuses on understanding and optimizing customer behavior in digital marketplaces.

I recently completed a PhD in Operations Management at McGill University, where I designed and executed a randomized field experiment to understand how different types of promotions impact customer behavior over time. I used heterogeneous treatment effect analysis and reinforcement learning to personalize promotional strategies based on customer engagement and long-term value.

Key areas of interest:

  • Promotion framing and customer psychology
  • Multi-agent reinforcement learning for marketing optimization
  • Causal inference in digital experiments
  • Customer lifetime value modeling
  • Subscription and platform business analytics

Notable methodologies:

  • Randomized controlled trials (RCT)
  • Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP)
  • Q-learning and explainable RL
  • A/B testing and heterogeneous treatment effect modeling
