I am an Acting Assistant Professor at  Kelley School of Business, Indiana University. I am excited about empirical and theoretical topics in online marketplace design and operations. My current work focuses on supply-side operations in online B2B marketplaces and service platforms, including market thickness management, market expansion, and information provision policies. During my Ph.D. study in Operations Management, I was very fortunate to be co-advised by Wedad J. Elmaghraby and Kostas Bimpikis.
