I am an Assistant Professor of Technology and Operations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. My current research interests lie in healthcare analytics. I am particularly interested in questions surrounding designing and learning from clinical trials, and my research relies on both analytical modeling and empirical tools to dig into this topic. I am interested not only in how to most efficiently run a clinical trial to compare a set of treatments, but also how to best select what should be compared within that clinical trial as well as how to derive as much value as possible from the results of the trial.
