Operations Management Research

 
 

The Operations Management Lab combines methodologies and tools from multiple disciplines, such as stochastic models and optimization techniques in operations research, game theory in economics, and human behavior in psychology, to study how enterprises can provide quality products and services efficiently by modeling the decision processes of businesses and consumers and by creating incentive devices.  Currently, there are three active research areas: (1) sustainable energy systems, (2) product design, pricing and management of e-commerce, and (3) data-driven decisions in healthcare systems.
