Independent Research Projects

Interpretable Learning-Augmented Last-Mile Delivery Routing

Independent Research Project · Completed Project · November 2025 – December 2025

An interpretable, learning-augmented approach to last-mile delivery routing that combines operations research with interpretable machine learning and hierarchical zone-preference modelling, evaluated on real Amazon last-mile delivery routes using the official challenge scoring.

  • Reduced aggregate median official route score by 39.9% compared with nearest-neighbour routing
  • Improved 88.1% of test routes
  • Limited median travel-time increase to 4.83%
  • Reduced median zone re-entries from 21 to 0

Quasi-Causal Analysis of Dispatch Delays and Late-Delivery Risk in E-Commerce

Independent Research Project · Completed Project · December 2025 – January 2026

A quasi-causal analysis of how dispatch-deadline breaches relate to late-delivery risk in e-commerce, using augmented inverse probability weighting with five-fold cross-fitting on real Olist order data.

  • Estimated a 14.11 percentage-point higher adjusted late-delivery risk
  • 95% confidence interval: 12.81–15.41 percentage points
  • Maximum weighted absolute standardised mean difference: 0.053
