I am an Assistant Professor in Operations Management at UC Berkeley Haas. Before joining Haas, I was a post-doctoral researcher at GeorgiaTech, Scheller College of Business and obtained my Ph.D. in Management Science at the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School. My primary research interest is designing supply chain and policy interventions that help solve real-world challenges with social and environmental impact.
Prior to my PhD, I obtained a BSc and MSc in Economics and Finance at the VU University Amsterdam and an MPhil in Management Science and Operations at the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School. I also worked for 2 years as a quantitative analyst for commodity trading.
