CV Shivam Gupta June 18 2023

Broadly speaking, my research interests lie in procurement, supplier management, innovation management, and agricultural operations management. I am interested in building sound mathematical models for practically important business problems and analyzing these models rigorously. The result is typically a strategy or policy recommendation that a decision-maker can implement in practice. I have applied a variety of methodologies such as mechanism design, game theory, optimization, dynamic programming and simulation. I also seek to obtain and use real-world data in my research, where possible.

I am interested in designing algorithms/mechanisms that can align incentives between stakeholders in multi-tier supply chains. For example, in manufacturing supply chains, I am interested in designing mechanisms for procuring goods or services from suppliers who are heterogeneous in terms of their costs and non-cost attributes such as service quality, reliability, capacity and delivery time. In innovation and R&D, I am interested in designing mechanisms that can incentivize long-term performance from vendors and motivate them to engage in innovation continuously over time. I am also interested in studying multi-tier agricultural supply chains and the impact of government policies in improving the welfare of individual stakeholders including farmers.
