Wael Jabr is an Assistant Professor in the Supply Chain & Information Systems Department at Penn State's Smeal College of Business. His PhD in Management Science from UT Dallas focused on digital transformations reshaping business ecosystems.

Research centers on two themes: (1) Information-rich platforms as mediators of stakeholder interactions and customer decision-making, and (2) Human-algorithm interactions affecting operational effectiveness and societal perceptions. Specific investigations include judicial fairness in AI systems, social trading behaviors, and online review ecosystems.

Publications analyze internet-enabled pollution control in marginalized communities, social media's electoral impacts, and peer-production system optimization. Methodologies combine empirical analyses with quasi-natural experiments.
