Other: Jain brings over a decade of international and industry experience to his teaching and research. He moved to academia in 2001 as a research faculty member with Grado Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech, and joined GW School of Business in Fall 2005. His industrial R&D and consulting experience includes working with General Motors Corporation in Warren, MI, Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology in Singapore, and Accenture in Reston, VA. He has worked on projects in automotive, semiconductor, printing and logistics industries. He has maintained an active research agenda since moving to academia. He has been awarded successive sponsored research projects by the National Institute of Standards and Technology since 2002 and has co-organized successful workshops in the area of emergency response at NIST (www.nist.gov/simresponse). He was awarded a Certificate in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) by APICS in 2001 and earned its renewal in 2006.
