Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy at the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

My research studies the relationship between firm strategies and innovation outcomes in the health care sector. I use quantitative methods to examine the strategic decisions of research organizations to acquire, integrate, and disclose information. A second strand of work investigates how organizations adapt their R&D and market entry decisions in response to regulation.

I attended college at the University of California, Berkeley, completed my master’s degree at The London School of Economics, and obtained my PhD from Harvard University. My research has been funded by the Society of Hellman Fellows and the National Institute of Health Care Management Foundation.
