Hi there! Welcome to my digital garden.

I’m an Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Analytics at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. My research focuses on forecasting, machine learning, and applied analytics. I attained my PhD in Business Analytics at the Haslam College of Business, the University of Tennessee, advised by Dr. Chuanren Liu. My dissertation explored enterprise demand forecasting using scalable machine learning algorithms. Alongside my PhD, I spent over a year interning with HP Inc. in their SPaM team, working on supply chain and demand forecasting projects.

My academic journey began with a BA and MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Indore, where I was advised by Dr. Pritam Ranjan, graduating in April 2021. During this time, I had the opportunity to be an ERASMUS+ scholar at the University of Latvia for a semester. Sainik School Tilaiya shaped much of who I am today.

When I’m not neck-deep in data, you’ll often find me writing or lost in the wonderful world of books. For an adrenaline rush, I love participating in adventure sports. And nothing lifts my spirits like a good Calvin and Hobbes comic! Music is my constant companion, thanks to Spotify. You might enjoy my curation of Classical Hindi Music—it’s quite a hit on Spotify.

I’d be thrilled to know what you think about my digital garden. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback at hello@harsh17.in. Let’s connect!
