Inventory Policy for Pandemic Stockpiles
Strategy paper I co-authored for the Humanitarian Supply Chain Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). It provides a novel inventory policy for medical supplies during a pandemic.

Quantifying Warehouse Automation and Sustainability
This MIT research proposes a framework for measuring greenhouse gas emissions stemming from warehouse automation. The result is a dynamic carbon emissions calculator that determines the total CO2 emissions derived from the energy consumption of various automation technologies.

Space Armament Governance
Final term paper I authored for Global Governance at the Harvard Kennedy School analyzing the laws (and lack thereof) surrounding the use of weapons in outer space. I provide specific public policy recommendations to better govern this nascent, but growing, frontier.

Review: U.S. Executive Order on Supply Chains
President Biden’s Executive Order is one of the most comprehensive reviews of supply chains in U.S. history. Not only does it address traditional operational risks such as sole sourcing and manufacturing capacity, it also confronts emerging threats in climate change, cyber security, workforce development, and financing.

Revisited: Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
EOQ is the optimal order quantity that minimizes total ordering and holding costs. Not only does it help manage supply, but it also optimizes cash flow tied up in inventory. Despite its assumptions such as instantaneous replenishment and uniform demand, EOQ is a simple and effective formula all supply chain managers should understand.

Supply Chain Finance and Reverse Factoring
Supply chain financing (SCF) is a form of short-term borrowing to generate working capital. In a standard model, buyers receive payment extensions from a financial institution to improve its working capital and sellers get paid earlier than they would have otherwise. Financial institutions provide this service through fee-based income and interest.
