Sandhya’s project title is “Optimisation models for home care”.

Sandhya is a phD student in Operational Research at RMIT University. Her research interest lie in Optimisation and Operational Research, with a focus on the Nurse Routing and Scheduling Problem. Sandhya holds a BSc in Industrial Mathematics and an Msc in Operational Research. In her current work, she investigates how this problem can be formulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Program and explores optimisation techniques to improve scheduling efficiency and patient care outcomes. Her broader interest include healthcare optimisation, integer programming and applied analytics in public service sectors.

She is supervised by Assoc. Professor Melih Ozlen alongside Dr. Sona Taheri.
