My research interests include service operations management and incentives in healthcare settings. I am interested in problems arising due to the misalignment of incentives among insurers, providers and patients. Specifically, I study contracting problems related to risk sharing and care quality. I am also interested in hospital operations and designing practical solutions to support the challenges that these complex systems face.
The motivation of my research has been inspired by collaborative work with various hospitals, including Boston Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, UCLA Health, and Partners Healthcare.
