Research Teaching
About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Technology and Operations Management department at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. My research interests lie in the design and analysis of mechanisms for technology markets, with a focus on the data economy.
Prior to joining the Rotterdam School of Management, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I obtained my Ph.D. in Management Science (Information Systems concentration) from the University of Texas at Dallas and my M.Sc. (Intg.) in Mathematics and Scientific Computing from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
