About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Systems at the W. P. Carey School of Business of Arizona State University. I hold a Ph.D. in Operations, Information, and Decisions from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and an M.S. in Management Science and Engineering from Columbia University.
My broad research goal is to understand how healthcare providers can leverage information technology and make operational improvements to achieve better health and operational outcomes. My work provides actionable, data-driven insight toward how to maximize efficiency and effectiveness given organizational constraints. I utilize data analytics and econometrics to analyze large-scale data derived from electronic health record databases as well as data collected from field experiments.
Beyond my academic career, I worked as a process engineer at P&G and as a management consultant at Accenture, advising clients on operations strategy and business process transformation. During my Master's, I served as a part-time consultant for Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and BTQ Financial.
