Research

My research examines how firms, platforms, and consumers interact in digitally mediated markets. I am broadly interested in strategic and operational problems involving online platforms, e-commerce, and AI. Methodologically, my work combines game theory, optimization, econometrics, and machine learning to generate insights that are both theoretically grounded and practically relevant.
