Personal profile
Research interests
My main research interests lie within behavioral operations, studying issues of supply chain coordination, information sharing and human-algorithm interaction. I am also interested in sustainability and social responsibility in supply chains and have worked on topics related to global health supply chains and humanitarian logistics. In terms of research methodologies, I like to combine analytical modeling (game theory) with empirical data (experiments, secondary data).
