Chandu Manchiraju serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University's Broad College of Business, joining as new faculty for the 2023-24 academic year. His office is located in North Business Building, Room N359 (632 Bogue St, East Lansing, MI 48824) with contact details manchir5@msu.edu and (972) 946-2742.
Dr. Manchiraju's research centers on operational performance optimization in transportation networks, specializing in airline and railway systems. His work investigates strategic slack allocation, schedule padding impacts on on-time performance, and behavioral decision biases in capacity planning. Key methodological approaches include revenue management modeling, dynamic pricing frameworks, and network optimization techniques applied to real-world transportation operations.
Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on transportation operations with dual specialization in airline industry dynamics (70% of works) and railway pricing systems (20%). His research demonstrates strong empirical grounding through analysis of US airline industry data while increasingly incorporating AI/data-sharing mechanisms as seen in his 2023 work on optimal data-sharing for AI services.
No scientific awards were documented in the source material.
While no student advising or grant information was provided, his publications indicate active research in operational decision-making with potential industry partnerships in transportation sectors. The absence of emeritus or retired status markers confirms active faculty engagement.
Current research appears centered in operational laboratories at MSU's Broad College, though specific lab affiliations weren't specified. His 2025 publication on slack allocation suggests ongoing work in airline performance optimization with emerging interest in AI/data economics as evidenced by recent cross-disciplinary work.
