My teaching interests lie in the area of supply chain modeling/management, game theory, pricing and revenue management, demand forecasting and business analytics. I am currently teaching Process and Supply Chain Analytics for MSBA students at Wake Forest University School of Business. Previously, I taught revenue management and supply chain modeling at the undergraduate, MBA/PMBA, and MSBA levels, and demand forecasting at the executive level at the Darla Moore School of Business. I also taught engineering optimization at the undergraduate level, and economic decision analysis using game theoretical modeling at the graduate level at the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech.
