Mateus do Rego Ferreira Lima

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Operations and Business Analytics at Fisher College of Business. Before joining Fisher, I worked as a maintenance engineer and as a manufacturer engineer. My research investigates how technology can improve individual decision-making and operational processes. Major areas of application of my work include maintenance, warehouse, and manufacturing operations.

In the fall of 2024, I will be joining Kelley School of Business at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis as a tenure-track Assistant Professor.
