Research Interests

My research interests derive from contemporary issues in the areas of innovation, public health supply chains, public sector operations, and emerging markets. Across each line of inquiry, my research reflects a theoretically-grounded empirical approach wherein I use appropriate data sources and rigorous econometric techniques to derive useful findings for theory and practice.
