Hemanshu Das

Assistant Professor, Operations Management, Nanyang Business School, Nanyang Technological University

I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at the Nanyang Business School, NTU Singapore. I completed my PhD in Operations at the Yale School of Management, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Edieal Pinker and Professor Faidra Monachou.

I study operations for public policy, with a specific focus on education. I use data-driven models and field experiments to improve student learning by rethinking how we support students, teachers, and educational platforms. My work spans AI-based algorithmic advising, teacher workforce design, and personalized learning, and has been recognized with the 2025 Duolingo Dissertation Research Award.

Prior to Yale, I was a predoctoral fellow at the Indian School of Business, advised by Professor Sarang Deo. I hold an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication from the Vellore Institute of Technology.
