Interests
I am generally interested in operations management, especially in the biotechnology industry. More specifically, I am interested in plant quality assurance, manufacturing, supply chain management, and leadership. My Leaders for Global Operations thesis was on process management principles for increasing the energy efficiency of manufacturing operations. Previous academic research centered on optimization, machine learning, causal inference and modeling techniques, and I am particularly interested in the application of those principles in operations management.
