Hi! I’m Mike, I’m an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics and Operations at the University of Pittsburgh Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, and an affiliated member of the Center for Analytical Approaches to Social Innovation (CAASI). I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University in Operations Research where I was advised by Adam N. Elmachtoub. Before that, I earned a B.Sc. from Rutgers University in Mathematics.

My research centers around pricing and market design. I examine how changes in the structure and mechanics of price offerings affect market outcomes, with diverse applications in online dating, e-commerce, and market design for social good. For more details about my work, please see my CV, Google Scholar, and/or my Papers.

If this sort of work sounds interesting to you, I am always on the lookout for timely problems, strong students, and new collaborators. Are you interested in working with me? Click here!.
