Personal profile
Research interests
My research primarily focuses on Nonprofit and Humanitarian Operations, with particular emphasis on philanthropic donations, resource allocation, humanitarian logistics, blockchain and cryptocurrency applications, and collaboration among nonprofit actors. Additionally, I have interests in revenue management and supply chain management.
Methodologically, I employ a wide range of techniques, including optimization methods (dynamic, stochastic, integer, nonlinear, heuristics), statistical approaches, machine learning, and simulations, among others.
