Dr. Filipe Caro joined the UCLA Anderson School of Management in 2005. His main research interests are related to decisions made under uncertainty with a strong emphasis on practical applications. In his PhD dissertation at MIT, he developed analytical models with demand learning for the dynamic assortment problem faced by fast-fashion retailers. This led to an ongoing collaboration with the Spanish apparel retailer Zara that made him a Franz Edelman Laureate in 2009. On the theoretical side, his work on product and price competition with satiation effects won the first prize in the 2010 INFORMS Junior Faculty Paper competition.
Some of his current research projects include carbon allocation in supply chains; coordination of pricing and inventory decisions; forecasting; and exploration versus exploitation problems.
Prior to receiving his PhD, Professor Caro worked as an instructor in the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Chile. He taught courses in optimization, dynamic programming and stochastic processes and also worked on research projects involving natural resources, mostly in the forestry and copper industries. He continues to collaborate on a permanent basis with his colleagues in Chile.
At UCLA Anderson, Professor Caro teaches the MBA core course on operations and technology management and doctoral level courses on stochastic models in operations management.
