Ashish Kabra is a faculty in the DOIT. His expertise is in using developing and applying estimation algorithms to study new business models such as bike-share systems (eg: Citibike) and marketplaces (eg: Uber). He has studied topics related to "accessibility" (sufficient reach), availability (service is available when a user needs it), and that of effectiveness of promotions in scaling marketplaces. He has also studied online grocery retail models (eg: Amazon Fresh), specifically its financial and environmental concerns using mathematical economics models.
In cities around the globe, bicycle and electric scooter rentals seem to be everywhere. And in a way, they almost have to be. If the bicycle or scooter isn’t right where users need it, right when they need it, they won’t go out of their way to find one, says new research from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.
