Pantelis Loupos

Pantelis Loupos is an Assistant Professor at the School of Business, University of California, Davis, where he specializes in marketing and business analytics. His research focuses on consumer behavior in digital platforms, particularly networked services such as Venmo, where value is shaped by user networks and topology.

His research interests lie at the intersection of digital technologies and social behavior. He investigates how platforms like Instagram and Venmo transform human interactions and business models. A central theme is understanding the social lifetime value of customers in networked environments, aiming to build an integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) framework for more accurate corporate valuation. He uses empirical data from peer-to-peer payment systems and is extending his work into blockchain transaction analysis.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend in analyzing digital footprints in social and financial platforms. His work combines behavioral insights with data science to uncover patterns in customer acquisition, engagement, and even illicit activity. The research spans marketing, operations, and information systems, emphasizing real-world applications of analytics.

He advises MSBA students and collaborates on data-driven research projects, though no formal list of advisees is provided. There is no mention of external grants, but his empirical work suggests involvement in data-intensive research initiatives. He received his Ph.D. from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, an M.S. in Operations Research from Georgia Tech, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Patras, Greece.
