I am an Assistant Professor of Operations & Supply Chain Management, in the Department of Statistics, Operations, and Data Science, at the Fox School of Business, Temple University, Philadelphia.
I use analytical models to study fundamental and novel trade-offs that supply chain agents face in their strategic decision-making. Using these models, I develop insights that can be useful for academics and practitioners alike. Read more on my Research.
I enjoy creating an exciting and engaging classroom for students from varied backgrounds, where they develop a deep interest in Supply Chain and Operations Management, linked to practical applications. Read more about my Teaching.
I received my PhD and MS in Supply Chain and Operations Management from the University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business. Previously, I received my MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and my Bachelor of Production Engineering from Jadavpur University.
