Amirhossein Bazargan

Amirhossein Bazargan serves as an Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences in the Department of Marketing, Information Systems, and Decision Sciences at Fairleigh Dickinson University's Silberman College of Business. Prior to joining FDU, he worked as a Researcher/Data Scientist in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering at Ryerson University.

His academic credentials include:

• BS from IAU-Science & Research Branch, Tehran, Iran
• MS from University of Regina, Regina, Canada
• PhD from Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada

Dr. Bazargan's research integrates Operations Research and Game Theory to solve Marketing challenges, particularly in loyalty program design. He develops stochastic models to analyze program effectiveness in competitive environments, focusing on reward structures, redemption timing, and expiry policies to optimize profitability while accounting for consumer behavior dynamics.

Publication trends reveal a strategic shift from mechanical engineering (2012-2015 climbing robots and vehicle design) to his current specialization in Marketing/OR interfaces (2017-2022). Recent works in top journals like European Journal of Operational Research demonstrate rigorous game-theoretic approaches to loyalty program optimization in supply chain contexts.
