My research interest is in the general area of Operations and Supply Chain Management. It includes using optimization in the design, planning and control of largescale

industrial processes and service operations. My focus is on developing analytical models of complicated systems, developing solution procedures using quantitative techniques, and drawing managerial insights from the analysis of these models.
