About Me

Greetings, I'm Tanvir Ahamed, a Data Science and Operations Research Specialist based in West New York, NJ. I specialize in developing high-performance algorithms and heuristics for solving complex OR problems. Additionally, I have extensive experience managing and analyzing large datasets, using visualization tools to identify patterns, and deploying cutting-edge decision support tools.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of being involved in the modernization of optimization tools, which have played a vital role in enabling Jet Ownership business to achieve revolutionary new business model goals. In addition to this, I have made valuable contributions to the advancement of research in Supply Chain and Logistics. More specifically, I have been instrumental in developing highly effective planning and scheduling tools for jet ownership services, as well as pushing the boundaries of research in last-mile delivery to expand knowledge in the field. I am dedicated to utilizing my skills and experience to continue making significant contributions to these areas and beyond.

Industry Experience

  • Developed efficient planning and scheduling heuristic for Wheels Up's jet ownership services.
  • Demonstrated value of flex-related implementation style and parameters.
  • Proposed alternative crew rest scenarios and reported operational impact, leading to changes in crew duty hours for July 2022.
  • Modernized legacy Optimizer Engine by replacing CPLEX with GUROBI for Virtual Machine usage.
  • Contributed to the development of a Crew Scheduling Optimizer to optimize crew resource allocation.
  • Improved Optimizer Engine functionality by editing, debugging, and experimenting with existing features.

Research Contributions

  • Investigated efficient crowdsourcee-request assignment and relocating idle crowdsourced individuals for distributed on-demand crowdsourced delivery.
  • Developed a deep reinforcement learning approach for efficient crowdsourcee-request assignment and a comprehensive and novel characterization of crowdshipping system states.
  • Built a queueing network-based framework to optimize crowdsourced urban delivery systems and determined the optimal pool size of crowdsourcees to meet given shipping requests.
  • Conducted research on pricing behavior in spot markets, and provided recommendations to logistics company on future pricing strategies.
