Research Interests
My research lies in the area of supply chain management, with primary focus on the supply chain risk management. I am also interested in incentive and contracting, pricing and inventory management, sustainable and socially responsible operations, interfaces of operations and finance/marketing, and their applications in addressing real-world operational challenges. Here are my SSRN and Google Scholar links.
