 Research Interests

My research interests lie in the general subject of stochastic modeling; including technical areas such as applied probability and queueing theory and more applied ones such as inventory and supply chain management. More recently, I have been focusing on revenue and risk management problems, with a particular interest on dynamic pricing and customer behavior issues.

 Teaching Interests

My teaching interests are related to my reasearch work. I have been extensively teaching courses on analytical decision making and operations management (including quality, processes as well as supply chain management). I have also taught in the past Ph.D. courses on applied probability and stochastc simulation applied to financial engineering.
