Wel­come to my web­site! I am the Bernard T. Fer­rari Pro­fes­sor at the Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­si­ty’s Carey Busi­ness School. I am a mem­ber of Lead­er­ship Team of the Hop­kins Busi­ness of Health Ini­tia­tive (HBHI), where I co-chair the Johns Hop­kins Work­group on AI and Health­care, and the Exec­u­tive Com­mit­tee of the Johns Hop­kins Insti­tute for Data Inten­sive Engi­neer­ing and Sci­ence (IDIES). I also hold joint fac­ul­ty appoint­ments at the Johns Hop­kins School of Nurs­ing and Cen­ter for Dig­i­tal Health and Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence (CDHAI). In 2021, I was named one of the world’s best 40 busi­ness school pro­fes­sors under 40 by Poets & Quants.

My research focus­es on the health­care ecosys­tem through the lens of ana­lyt­ics, elic­it­ing nov­el insights into behav­ioral, incen­tive, and pol­i­cy issues and con­tribut­ing to the bur­geon­ing field of health­care oper­a­tions man­age­ment (HOM) 2.0. I have also been work­ing on glob­al sup­ply chains, mar­ket­ing-oper­a­tions inter­faces, and human-AI inter­ac­tion.

My recent writ­ing and media appear­ances have focused on glob­al sup­ply chain issues (esp. vac­cine roll­outs, test­ing, and PPE) aris­ing from the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic, the war in Ukraine, and the ESG move­ment. I have appeared in nation­al and inter­na­tion­al TV such as CNBC, PBS New­sHour, and Sky News, and have been fea­tured in ABC News, The Asso­ci­at­ed Press, Bal­ti­more Sun, Barron’s, Bloomberg, Busi­ness Insid­erCBC, CBS NewsChica­go Tri­bune, CNNThe Con­ver­sa­tion, Fast Com­pa­ny, Finan­cial TimesFor­tune, Globe and MailHar­vard Busi­ness Review, The HillKHNLes EchosMar­ket­Watch, Med­Page TodayMod­ern Health­care, NikkeiNew York TimesNewsweek, NPRQuartz, Slate, STATU.S. News & World Report, USA Today, Wall Street Jour­nalWash­ing­ton Post, and Wired, among others. 

My work has appeared in a vari­ety of pres­ti­gious jour­nals, includ­ing Man­age­ment Sci­ence, Man­u­fac­tur­ing & Ser­vice Oper­a­tions Man­age­ment, Mar­ket­ing Sci­ence, and Oper­a­tions Research. I serve as an Asso­ciate Edi­tor for Man­age­ment Sci­enceMan­u­fac­tur­ing & Ser­vice Oper­a­tions Man­age­mentNaval Research Logis­tics,  and Health Care Man­age­ment Sci­ence, and as a Senior Edi­tor for Pro­duc­tion and Oper­a­tions Man­age­ment. I co-edit­ed the Hand­book of Health­care Ana­lyt­ics: The­o­ret­i­cal Min­i­mum for Con­duct­ing 21st Cen­tu­ry Research on Health­care Oper­a­tions, which was pub­lished by John Wiley & Sons in 2018.

Since 2016, I have been orga­niz­ing the Johns Hop­kins Sym­po­sium on Health­care Oper­a­tions, an effort to bring togeth­er lead­ing clin­i­cians, health schol­ars, and policymakers.

At Johns Hop­kins, I teach two required core MBA cours­es — Oper­a­tions Man­age­ment and Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence — and have taught an elec­tive course on Con­tract­ing: Incen­tive Design and Ana­lyt­ics. Pri­or to join­ing Johns Hop­kins in 2013, I earned a PhD (2013) and an MSIA (2009) in Oper­a­tions Man­age­ment and Robot­ics from Carnegie Mel­lon Uni­ver­si­ty’s Tep­per School of Busi­ness and Robot­ics Insti­tute. I also received an MPhil from Depart­ment of Indus­tri­al Engi­neer­ing and Deci­sion Ana­lyt­ics of Hong Kong Uni­ver­si­ty of Sci­ence and Tech­nol­o­gy in 2006.
