Professor - Operations and Supply Chain Management’

  • Innovation and Sustainability

Research area(s)

My current research is focused on two strands that are inspired by the trend of global challenges regarding humanitarian operations, and sustainable operations. In the first strand, I look for ways to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness of humanitarian operations at different phases of disaster management cycle from preparedness to response, recovery, and mitigation. In the second strand, I analyze trade-offs between the environmental. economic, and social sustainability dimensions at firm and supply chain levels in manufacturing, service, and maritime sectors.  For these, I primarily employ analytical methodologies from the Operations Research and Management Science, Decision Science, Intelligent Search, Data Analytics, Data-driven Decision Making, and Game Theory. I am also familiar with Empirical Research methodologies including Quantitative and Qualitative techniques and have used them in a number of research projects.
