I am an Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management at Arizona State University and a Harold E. Fearon Fellow at the Center for Advanced Procurement Strategy (CAPS), a B2B nonprofit research center serving supply management leaders at Fortune 1000 companies. I also advise organizations on supply chain strategy, data analytics, and evidence-based decision-making. My work focuses on organizations operating with limited data, constrained resources, and high uncertainty.
 

Working closely with partner organizations, I combine field studies, data analytics, field experiments, and optimization to generate evidence and develop solutions that are practical, low-cost, and scalable. This work spans supply chain strategy, resource allocation, workforce and asset management, education, food systems, and humanitarian service delivery, and has been published in leading operations and management journals.

My research and professional contributions have received several recognitions, including the DARPA Young Faculty Award, the Decision Sciences Institute’s Buffa Outstanding Dissertation Award and Latta Emerging Leadership Award, the W. P. Carey Dean’s Mid-Career Excellence Research Award.

I currently hold editorial positions with Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, the Journal of Operations Management, and Production and Operations Management. I have also chaired and contributed to numerous professional panels, conferences, award committees, and research competitions, and founded the INFORMS Webinar on Contemporary Operations in Developing Economies.

I have delivered more than 100 invited university, conference, panel, and practitioner presentations worldwide. My teaching and executive education translate research into practical approaches to supply chain strategy, analytics, experimentation, and decision-making when the evidence needed for a decision does not yet exist.
