I am a Professor of Operations Management at the UNSW Business School in Sydney Australia. I am currently the Executive Director at the Business School's UNOVA Knowledge Hub for Digital Transformation, where I lead multidisciplinary research projects, providing expert insights to companies navigating technical and managerial challenges in their digital transformation journeys. I have taught operations management and supply chain management in various programs including MBA and EMBA. Prior to joining UNSW, I held faculty positions at the University of Maryland and the University of Missouri-Rolla in the US. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of California-Berkeley and a M.S. from UC Davis. I have edited or co-edited several special issues of peer-reviewed journals. My published work has appeared in Operations Research, Manufacturing & Service and Operations Management, The Energy Journal, Energy Economics, European Journal of Operational Research, and other journals. I am a past President of the Section on Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment of the INFORMS. I am currently the Editor-in-Chief of the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering, and have served on the Editorial Board of the ASCE Journal of Infrastructure Systems, IET Energy Conversion and Economics, and the International Journal of Business Analytics. My research interests include operations management, healthcare, sustainability, financial engineering, and project management.

Research Interests:

  • Operations management and analysis
  • Energy
  • Healthcare
  • Financial engineering and risk management
