About Me

Hi! My name is Shefali (she/her). I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Operations Research at Cornell University, working with Ziv Scully on scheduling in queueing systems. I am currently instructor of record for ORIE 3500.

I have a bachelor's and master's degree in mathematics with honors from Bryn Mawr College, where I graduated magna cum laude.

When I’m not thinking about research "queue-stions", I enjoy birdwatching (ask me about American Robins and American Crows!), embroidery (particularly of birds), improv, turn-based tactics and strategy games, deckbuilding roguelikes, and Shakespeare plays!
