I specialize in empirical research within the field of supply chain management, specifically focusing on supply chain risk. My work leverages large-scale datasets to explore the impacts of AI/digitalization, sustainable operations, and the intersection of operations and information systems. I aim to provide evidence-based insights to solve complex, real-world business problems.
You can find my latest working papers and publications on SSRN and Google Scholar.
