Chaithanya Bandi

I am an Associate Professor of Operations, at Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. Prior to this, I spent five years at MIT in the Operations Research Center(ORC) after graduating with Bachelors in Computer Science from IIT Madras.

I am broadly interested in the problems of decision making under uncertainty, incomplete information and risk with applications to operations management. In particular, I have focussed on developing Robust Optimization based models to formulate key problems in applications such as queueing control, risk optimization, mechanism design, and online algorithms; with applications ranging from e-commerce, healthcare, crowdsourcing, data-centers, and cloud-computing.
