Hossein Hejazian
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School) and Harvard School of Public Health, working with Dr. Arin Madenci. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Public Impact Analytics Science Lab (PIAS-Lab), Harvard University, working with Professor Soroush Saghafian.
Prior to joining Harvard, I received my Ph.D. in Operations Management from the Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University, advised by Professor Javad Nasiry and Professor Vedat Verter.
Research
My research sits at the intersection of data-driven analytics, AI/ML, and clinical operations for healthcare management, drawing on causal inference, empirical research, interpretable machine learning, and reinforcement learning to design, evaluate, and govern decision systems that improve access, quality, and cost in health systems.
