About me

I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Operations Management at Tilburg University. My research involves two streams: supply chain disruptions and environmental sustainability. In the first stream, I am studying how natural disasters affect product replenishment choices and how retail operations are affected by labor disruptions. In the second, I am exploring how dynamic pricing can solve the problem of food waste in grocery stores, and how firms and consumers can be more aligned to reduce production and consumption. 

Connected with my interest in supply chain disruptions, I am part of the project Strategies for Resilience in Disruptive Environments (STRiDE), funded by TKI-Dinalog. In this project, we will focus on providing tools to identify and quantify potential disruption-related risks.  

Prior to my academic career, I worked for a period of four years as an environmental consultant based in Panama City, Panama. During that period, I had the opportunity to advise a total of 190 companies that were located in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. My main objective was to assess their operations in order to help them comply with local and international regulations.
