Hello! I am an Associate Professor at Gies College of Business, University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign. I graduated from University of Texas at Dallas with a PhD in MIS.
My research interests span across following topics.
Algorithm/System Design: I am interested in the design of better algorithms for solving computationally difficult problems faced by businesses. Currently, I am working on projects in the area of information privacy and security. I develop algorithms to protect confidential information before sharing data with business partners using traditional optimization and computational techniques, as well as Quantum algorithms. I also worked on designing recommender system algorithms when systems use association rules. I am interested in designing recommendation systems that consider and reduce biases in the recommendations.
Economic Modeling: Using Game theoretic models, I have explored research problems in the area of recommender systems, software support, and cybersecurity. I am working on several projects that investigate policy decisions on disclosing information about breaches, training and enforcement of cybersecurity best practices in organizations, security considerations in software version releases, and the impact of cybersecurity due to artificial intelligence. I worked in analyzing pricing policies and data sharing practices of organizations when they provide recommendations to customers.
Empirical research: I am interested in studying the impact of cybersecurity incidents on supply chain partners of organizations.
