Yash Babar(He/Him)

Assistant Professor | Operations and Information Management
John and Anne Oros Term Professor

Wisconsin School of Business, UW-Madison

I joined the Wisconsin School of Business in August 2020 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Operations and Information Management. I earned my Bachelor's in Engineering (Computer Science) at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani (Goa), and my Ph.D. in Information and Decision Sciences from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

My research interests include examining online and offline interactions across various contexts, online communities, and the sharing economy. I also study the use of technology-based interventions to change individual behavior in competitive environments and promote healthier lifestyles. My research has been published in several international academic journals, including Management Science, MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Production & Operations Management, and the Journal of the Association for Information Systems.

Before entering academia, I worked as a Senior Applications Engineer at Oracle Applications.
