I am an Assistant Professor in the Information Systems & Operations Management Department (ISOM) at the Costello College of Business, George Mason University. I am also an Affiliate Faculty at the Institute for Digital Innovation, Business for a Better World Center and at Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy, George Mason University.
Previously, I completed my PhD from the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business, Purdue University, advised by Karthik Kannan, Hossein Ghasemkhani & Mario Ventresca. I have been fortunate to work on interesting research problems with Christopher Quinn, Hong Wan & Thanh Nguyen. I was a part of Mario Ventresca's research group based in the School of Industrial Engineering, Purdue University. During the academic year 2018, I worked as a Research Collaborator at Facebook, Infrastructure Strategy Group.
My work addresses problems at the intersection of Economics, Operations Management and Information Technology & Systems. I use Game Theory, Econometrics & Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning methodologies to frame and solve research problems.
