About me

Hello! My name is Tejas Santanam and I did my BS Industrial Engineering and MS Analytics at Georgia Tech. I have a few years of experience doing ML/Optimization research, primarily in transportation and mobility contexts, as well as some data science consulting work. I’m also grateful to have been a part of multiple entrepreneurial environments. I have experience all over the tech stack and am always interested in learning new concepts. I enjoy applying machine learning methods, optimization methods, and geospatial data analysis/visualization to tackle research problems to improve the quality of human life. I’m very interested in problems surrounding transit system design/delivery, such as routing, site selection, multimodality, and autonomous navigation. I get to work on these TransitTech problems and more in my role as a Research Engineer at Beep (https://ridebeep.com). I am also grateful to pursue my passion for teaching as a Lecturer at Georgia Tech's #1 School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, where I teach Constraint Programming and Network Science courses. Connect with me to discuss more about transportation, autonomous mobility, operations research, machine learning, teaching, and my experiences in industry and academia!
