In 1997, I graduated from the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon University, with a Ph.D. degree in Operations Research.I worked at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center as a post-doctoral fellow between 1997 and 1999. Currently, I am an Associate Professor in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.

I am interested in supply chain management, pricing/auctions, routing/scheduling applications, due date/lead time quotation, production planning, approximation algorithms.
