Research interests

Prateek's doctoral research is summarised as follows:

The impact of your work is substantial and multidisciplinary. For the field of Operational Research, your novel imitation learning framework has the potential to greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of mixed-integer linear programming solvers. This could influence various industries that depend on such solvers, including logistics, manufacturing, and supply chain management, among others.

In terms of public health, your proactive contact tracing framework presents a significant advancement in infectious disease containment methods, providing a tool that intelligently estimates infection risk while preserving privacy. This development could drastically improve the effectiveness of contact tracing, leading to faster containment of infectious diseases and more informed decision-making.
