Dr. Salman Sagheer Warsi is a Principal Scientist and Associate Professor with 25+ years of experience as both a practitioner and educator in Operations Research, Modelling and Simulation, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. He holds a PhD and has authored 15+ peer-reviewed publications.
Having worked on real-world simulation and optimization projects as well as taught thousands of students over the years, he understands both how these concepts are applied in practice and exactly where learners get stuck — the confusing notation, the rushed exam-week panic, the moment a concept suddenly stops making sense. His teaching style focuses on breaking these moments down with patience and clarity, grounded in practical, real-world relevance.
He shares this same approach through his YouTube channel, Optima Decisions Lab. Outside the classroom, he is a lifelong believer that good teaching is simply complex ideas — whether academic or applied — explained with enough care that anyone can follow them.
