PhD, MIT; Part III Math Trips , Cambridge University, BA, Yale University

Vishal completed his B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy at Yale University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with honors, and completed Part III of the Mathematics Tripos at the University of Cambridge with distinction. He then spent four years working as a “quant” in finance at Barclays Capital, focusing on derivatives pricing and risk management in commodities. Eventually, realizing how much he missed working towards a larger mission of impact, Vishal left the private sector to complete his Ph.D. in Operations Research at MIT in 2014.

Vishal is currently an Associate Professor of Data Sciences and Operations with a courtesy appointment in Industrial Systems Engineering.
