I am an assistant professor in the Operations and IT Management Department at Chaifetz School of Business at Saint Louis University. I served as the Interim Program Director of M.S. in Supply Chain Management in 2022. I was a visiting assistant professor at MIT Sloan in Summer 2023 (teaching associate for EMBA Core 15.734 Introduction to Operations Management). I worked as a research intern at Sabre Corporation and Air Products.

My research lies at the intersection of revenue management & pricing (RMP) and consumer behavior, bridging operations management and marketing. In RMP, I study how firms implement dynamic pricing and assortment planning strategies and how automakers price mobility services. In consumer behavior, I conduct laboratory experiments to examine how individuals process information and provide advice in probabilistic decision-making contexts (e.g., health insurance and utility plan selection), as well as the incentive mechanisms that improve information transmission. 

I am an automobile enthusiast who enjoys flipping, maintaining, and modifying cars. I collaborate with automobile and mobility companies for research projects and teaching cases. I am a foodie who enjoys cooking Chinese-style BBQ and Texas-style BBQ in my leisure time.
