Research

My research centers on the critical area of sustainable business and supply chain operations, which plays a pivotal role in addressing contemporary climate changes and societal challenges. Within this field, my primary focus revolves around developing effective coordination mechanisms that create mutually beneficial outcomes for all supply chain stakeholders while upholding sustainability goals. Drawing inspiration from real-world case studies, I conduct interdisciplinary research projects aimed at exploring how supply chains can significantly contribute to the environmental and social sustainability efforts of businesses and governments, without compromising on their investors' financial expectations.
