ABOUT ME:

I am an Associate Professor of Operations, Information, and Technology at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.

My research agenda explores issues related to the design and operations of online marketplaces, including online matching markets and procurement platforms.

Prior to joining Stanford, I spent a semester as a visiting scholar in the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley. I received my PhD in Decision, Risk, and Operations from Columbia Business School. I hold a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Universidad de Buenos Aires.

I currently serve as an associate editor for Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM), Mathematics of Operations Research, Operations Research, and Operations Research Letters.
