CV_Xiangjing-Olivia-Chen.pdf

Xiangjing (Olivia) Chen, assistant professor of Supply Chain Management and Analytics, joins Nebraska Business after earning her Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management at the W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University (ASU).

She taught a wide range of courses, including Project Management and Business Analytics/Information Analysis at UNL and Global Supply Operations and Business Decision Models at ASU. 

Her current research focuses on platform operations in both private (e.g., e-commerce and video-sharing platforms) and public (e.g., healthcare) sectors. She is mainly interested in understanding the role of platforms in a two-sided ecosystem and renovating traditional operations to solve emerging problems in a cost-efficient manner, which promotes both platform profit and social welfare.
