SECTION I: RESEARCH
RESEARCH EXPERTISE:
• Supply Chain Design (facility location, capacity acquisition and technology selection) • Closed-Loop Supply Chains (collection, product recovery and remanufacturing) • Hazardous Materials Transportation (risk assessment, routing and regulation) • Health Care Process Improvement (preventive, emergency and chronic care)
The over-arching theme of the four research programs above is public sector operations research. As of August 26, 2020, Google Scholar identified 5,364 citations with a corresponding h-index of 38. Total research grants secured as principal investigator amounts to $4.2 million and as co-applicant amounts to $4.8 million.
