I'm a professor in Stanford University's Management Science & Engineering group, teaching and doing research on innovation and technology entrepreneurship.
Before Stanford, I earned my Ph.D. at the MIT Sloan School of Management. I was pre-med at Duke when a semester in India changed my life as I grappled with problems of drought and hunger in rural India. While an undergraduate at Duke I won their business plan competition with a biotech corn start-up, listed on Fortune small business. Since then I've worked in a Duke neuroscience lab, started a biotech consulting firm, worked with numerous pharmaceutical companies and two venture capital firms and mentored startups in the MIT 100K and Clean Energy competitions.
