About Swapna Thorve
I am a Research Scientist with 5+ years of experience at the intersection of computational modeling, ML models integrated in simulations, and applied optimization. My work focuses on designing scalable, data-driven solutions to complex problems in critical systems. I combine expertise in agent-based modeling, machine learning, causal inference, and data science to translate research into production-ready systems that deliver measurable impact. Highlights of my work include:# Developing risk-aware load balancing algorithms for state-of-the-art robotic warehouse systems at Amazon, improving operational efficiency by 7%.# Creating simulation–optimization frameworks with 3 million agents to forecast EV charging infrastructure, reducing detours by 66% and wait-times by 72%.# Building high-resolution 30TB digital twin by developing scalable synthetic data pipelines and ensemble ML models for energy adoption, climate change, smart grid simulations, and public policy decision support.# Leading interdisciplinary teams and mentoring fellow scientists while publishing in top-tier venues such as PNAS, Nature Scientific Data, AAMAS, and IJCAI. I thrive at the boundary of research and applied science, turning complex data into actionable insights and production-ready solutions. I am seeking opportunities to apply my skills in quantitative analysis, modeling, and data-driven decision-making to solve challenging problems in industry and research.
