Welcome!

Hi.  My name is Milind Sohoni.  Currently, I am a Professor in the OMS group at the University at Buffalo (UB), School of Management.  I also serve at the Department Chair.  Prior to joining UB,   I was with the Indian School of Business (ISB) as a Full Professor in the OM group.  I also served as the Deputy Dean of the Hyderabad campus, and the Faculty and Research Office.

My research broadly spans four interconnected areas: (i) mobility, platform operations, and revenue management, (ii) transportation and logistics, (iii) information sharing, competition, and incentives in supply chain management, and (iv) non-profit and developmental/sustainable operations. Most of my research is motivated by practice and uses data from the industry.  I use analytical and empirical modeling tools, game theoretic analysis, large-scale computational optimization, and data-driven methods in my research.  Some of my research insights, algorithms, and solutions have been implemented in practice to improve firms' operational outcomes. Governmental agencies and policymakers have also quoted some of my work. I have published several research articles in top-tier academic journals. I serve as an associate editor for leading top-tier academic journals in operations management. 

I have several years of corporate experience in consulting and research.  Before joining ISB, I was a research advisor with the R&D group at Delta Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, Atlanta, GA. Before that, I worked with the Advanced Decision Support Systems group at AT&T Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, and Ryder Dedicated Logistics, Miami, Florida.  

I completed my Ph.D. in Operations Research from the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA.
