Research Interests

My research focuses on supply chain management, the interfaces of operations and marketing. This includes topics on optimal design of inventory-production systems and the analysis of emerging supply chain strategies. My research has been published in leading business journals including Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Marketing Science, Operations Research, and Production and Operations Management. Recently, I am investigating the robustness of microeconomic models subject to model uncertainty through the lens of robust optimization, and data-driven decision-making.

Research Methodologies:

Dynamic Programing, Continuous Time Optimization, Convex Optimization, Robust Optimization, Applied Probability, Queueing Models; Cooperative Games, Non-Cooperative Games, Auctions, Screening/Signalling Games, Bayesian Persuasion, Strategic Communications
