Ineen Sultana

Ineen Sultana is a PhD candidate in Industrial and System Engineering department in Texas A&M University. She is working with professor Mark Lawley and Lewis Ntaimo on transitional healthcare focusing on developing a preferred provider post-acute network to improve the care coordination of healthcare continuum. Ineen Sultana is also working as a visiting research fellow under Dr. Farzan Sasangohar’s supervision in Houston Methodist Hospital where she is involved with several healthcare related projects i.e. adoption of telemedicine, ICU burnout. Her long-term research interests are working on data analytics in healthcare specializing in machine learning and data driven stochastic optimization.
