Research Topics
- Supply Chain Risk Management
- Integrated Risk Management
- Inventory Management with Learning from Real-time Information
Supply Chain Finance (SCM400/600), Introduction to Management Science (SCM403), Principles of Management Science (SCM702), Supply Chain Analytics
Her research interest is theoretical and data-driven modeling on Supply Chain Risk Management. Her research aims to help managers better face different types of risk (e.g., demand, price, credit, cyber) with available risk management tools (e.g., inventories, financial derivatives, real-time data, new technologies, new management schemes).
