Prof. Yukti Kathuria

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student in Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and I am advised by Muge Capan. My research is focused on understanding health inequities that prevent vulnerable populations from timely access to healthcare and lead to certain communities experiencing a disproportionate burden of sickness or death. I develop analytical and computational models to risk-stratify disadvantaged populations for resource allocation and targeted interventions. Additionally, my current work examines how variations in patient populations and geographical factors influence diagnostic errors and resource distribution in primary care settings.

Prior to joining the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with a BS and MS in Aerospace Engineering.

Here is my CV.
