Dr. Amir Ardestani Jaafari

Biography

I am an assistant professor at the Faculty of Management. I obtained my Ph.D. in Management Sciences from HEC School of Business, the University of Montreal, where my advisor was Prof. Erick Delage. Before joining UBC, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University, working with Prof. Beste Kucukyazici. My research interests lie at the interface of healthcare operations, supply chain management, and multi-stage optimization under uncertainty. My work has two main threads: (i) developing new tools for dynamic optimization under uncertainty, and (ii) applying these to operational problems.
