Felipe 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 work made him one of the selected winners in the MSOM Student Paper Competition. His current research projects also include supply chain competition, inventory management for low volume seasonal goods, forecasting and exploration versus exploitation problems.

Prior to receiving his PhD, Professor Caro worked as an instructor at the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Chile. He taught courses in Optimization, Dynamic Programming and Stochastic Processes, and 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 the UCLA Anderson School, Professor Caro teaches the MBA core course on operations and technology management, and doctoral level courses on stochastic models in operations management. In 2007, he was awarded the George Robbins Assistant Professor Award that distinguishes excellence in teaching at the UCLA Anderson School.
