Poojan Patel
Industrial Engineering Intern
About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Industrial Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, specializing in simulation, optimization, and data analytics to drive efficiency in system operations. With hands-on experience at Tesla, Magna International, and Seagrave Fire Apparatus, I have optimized production lines, created dashboards, developed stochastic simulation models, and implemented LEAN methodologies to improve throughput, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making.
My PhD projects focus on identifying improvement opportunities, gathering and analyzing data, and developing simulation models to identify actionable insights (statistical analysis) for improving urban food systems.
My interest lies in using optimization, simulation, and data-driven methods to identify improvement opportunities to optimize systems.
🔹Key Expertise:
✔ Discrete Event & Agent-Based Modeling (FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio, NetLogo, Python-mesa)
✔ Data-Driven Decision Making (Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau)
✔ Operations Research and Optimization (LP, MILP, OR tools, Cplex, Gurobi)
✔ Process Improvement & Lean Six Sigma
✔ Supply Chain & Warehouse Optimization
📌Recent Impact:
✅ Analyzed data to create dashboards and generate data insights for better planning
✅ At Tesla, I developed a discrete-event model (FlexSim) to simulate rework battery supply chain scenarios. Based on simulation outputs, I performed a cost-benefit analysis to recommend the best strategy, reduced customer wait time by 40%, and generated $2M in annual savings.
✅ At Magna, I led a LEAN process improvement initiative that increased throughput by 20% and restocking efficiency by 21%.
✅ Through research, I have integrated data-driven optimization techniques with agent-based modeling for urban logistics and food systems, contributing to award-winning publications.
