Utsav Sadana

Hi! I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Research in the Department of Computer Science and Operations research (DIRO), University of Montréal. I am IVADO researcher and a member of CIRRELT and GERAD.

Before this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill University. I received my Ph.D. in Management Science from HEC Montréal where I was very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Georges Zaccour. During my research in PhD/ postdoc, I have been fortunate to be mentored by Prof. Puduru Viswanadha Reddy, Prof. Erick Delage, Prof. Angelos Georghiou, and Prof. Tamer Başar.

In 2017, I graduated from IIT Kanpur with Bachelors in Materials Science and Engineering, and Masters in Economics.
