Biography

I am an Associate Professor in Supply Chain and Operations Management at Daniels School of Business, Purdue University. I received my Ph.D. in Operations Management from Kenan-Flagler Business School, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before joining Purdue, I was an associate professor of operations management at the Ohio State University.

My current research primarily focuses on sustainable operations. Whether driven by regulations or taken voluntarily, firms' true sustainability impact is shaped by the interactions of supply chain members, market competition, and consumer preferences. I study the interplay between these factors and their effect on firms’ sustainability performance.
