Biography

Raveesh Mayya joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Technology, Operations and Statistics in July 2020.

Professor Mayya’s research focuses on technology-enabled platforms, such as online sharing markets or mobile app marketplaces, as the enablers of efficient transactions and mitigators of asymmetric information. He uses a combination of methodologies including econometric analyses, field experiments and machine learning to study issues of interest in mobile platforms, online sharing platforms, smart-TV platforms, online food delivery platforms as well as entrepreneurial platforms such as seed accelerators.
