I am a Professor of Supply Chain Management at the Smeal College of Business, The Pennsylvania State University. I completed my PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles.
My research lies at the intersection of operations and sustainability, focusing on environmental and behavioral issues in operations management. I investigate how behavioral factors influence the adoption of sustainable operating practices such as energy efficiency within firms and how operational knowledge can be leveraged to enhance operational practices such as quality management within firms and supply chains. My research has appeared in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Management Science, Production and Operations Management, Journal of Operations Management, Energy, and Strategic Management Journal.
