Hi! I’m Mike, I’m an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at the Baruch College, CUNY. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Before that, I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University in Operations Research and a B.Sc. from Rutgers University in Mathematics.

My research centers around pricing and market design. I look at how changes in the structure and mechanics of price offerings impact market outcomes, with diverse applications in 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. If you interested in working with me, please click here!. For all other inquires, you can reach me by email at mih140 (at) pitt (dot) edu.
