Julien Grand-Clément

Assistant Professor of Operations Management

About me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Information Systems and Operations Management department at HEC Paris, and a Hi! Paris chair holder. My research focuses on data-driven decision making under parameter uncertainty, with applications in healthcare and algorithmic game theory. I received my Ph.D. in Operations Research from Columbia University in 2021 where my advisors were Prof. Vineet Goyal and Prof. Carri Chan. Before Columbia, I completed my master and undergraduate studies at Ecole polytechnique (France) in 2016, with a major in algorithms and optimization.
