About Me
I am Marouane Ibn Brahim, a third year PhD student in Operations Research at Cornell Tech, working with Prof. Omar El Housni. Prior to joining ORIE at Cornell, I was a CS major at Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France. I am particularly interested in questions relating to combinatorial optimization, particularly matchings and assortment optimization. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just want to talk about research or my curriculum.
