Research Interests

My research and professional interests focus on advancing the field of supply chain management through the study of collaboration, visibility and the integration of artificial intelligence in operations. I am particularly interested in how organizations can build more transparent and responsive supply chains through strategic partnerships and data-driven decision-making. My scholarship aims to bridge academic theory and real-world practice, with numerous publications in leading journals in operations and supply chain management.

Professionally, I am committed to innovating business education to meet the evolving needs of industry. This includes developing new academic programs, such as a major in Business Analytics and a Master's in Digital Supply Chain Management, and leading efforts to ensure the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence in business contexts. My work is grounded in a servant leadership philosophy and a passion for learning, continuous improvement, and empowering others to thrive in complex, technology-enabled environments.
