About Me

Hi. I’m currently a grad student pursuing my doctoral degree in Industrial Engineering at North Carolina State University. My primary research interests are in the fields of Health-care Operations Research, Social Network Analysis and Mathematical Programming. Ever since I joined North Carolina State University, the primary focus for the application of my research has been in the field of healthcare. Along with a team of researchers, we employ a mix of data analysis, simulation and optimization-based tools to help inform public policy, efficiently allocate resources, and develop and validate intervention techniques to improve long-term and overall health outcomes. Feel free to check out my CV here and my resume here.

When not working on research, you can can either find me at home playing video games or outdoors at one of the many fun food/drink establishments in Raleigh. I am also a huge fan of Formula 1 and believe that it is the most technically advanced sport in the world. Do check out my blog on F1 here.

Finally, if you’d like to get in touch with me, feel free to send me an email at snambia <at> ncsu <dot> edu

P vs NP

Is P = NP? Computer Scientists and Mathematicians have puzzled about the answer to this problem for many years. To most of them, it represents nothing more than an abstract concept akin to a puzzle. To the realists, however, the solution to this question is much more than just that. Many have prophesied that the […]

Queues: They’re really not that bad

Queueing theory (more commonly known as the science behind waiting in lines) is one of those things that affects us every single day even without us realizing it. Like gravity, it is in effect every single moment and is modifying our surroundings little by little. Now, before you start to think that this is going […]

Language and Social Networks

Everyone speaks a language. Some people speak two and yet others speak multiple languages. Yet, the one common aspect that stands out amongst all of these languages is the fact that they are all extremely different from one another. This, understandably, leads us to ask the question, ‘How did language evolve?’ Let’s consider English. The […]
