I am the Director of Research and Professor of Supply Chain at the College of Business & Management, VinUniversity in Hanoi, Vietnam, bringing over more than two decades of academic experience in the US to advancing research and teaching in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.  

Prior to this role, I was the Andrew Van de Ven Professor in Supply Chain at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota.  My research interests derive from contemporary issues in the areas of innovation, public sector operations, public health supply chains, and emerging markets.

Most recently, I served as Department Editor at Journal of Operations Management, and I am currently a Senior Editor at Production and Operations Management as well as Department Editor at the Decision Sciences Journal. Beyond my editorial responsibilities, I serve as a reviewer for Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and Production and Operations Management.

These companies include Best Buy, Bühler Industries, Cafe Imports, Emerson Electric, General Mills, Heraeus, Len Busch Roses, Lutron Electronics, Medtronic, Polaris, Seeonic, Stratasys, Tokyo Electron, and Winnebago Industries.
