Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on quantitative methods for operations and supply chain management, including inventory decisions like the classic 'newsvendor' problem (how much stock to order under uncertain demand), pricing, procurement under supply uncertainty, and using data analytics to improve these operational decisions. Much of the recent work develops a framework called 'Operational Data Analytics' that combines statistical/machine-learning methods with traditional operations models to make better data-driven decisions.
