Professor Aviv develops and applies operations research models and methods to study problems related to supply chain management and revenue management. His current research focuses on strategic inventory positioning in distribution networks, supply chain coordination, collaborative forecasting, and dynamic pricing. He severs on several Management Science journal editorial board, and has consulted in the defense and electronics industries. At the Olin School of Business, he teaches courses on quantitative decision modeling, operations management, and supply chain management in the BSBA, MBA , EMBA, and Ph.D. programs.
