Senior Teaching Fellow

Management Science

Personal statement

I am a Senior Teaching Fellow (Associate Professor, Scholarship Track) in the Department of Management Science, where I also completed both my PhD and MSc. I teach subjects related to operations management, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and technical risk management. Over the past seven years, I have served as Programme Director for both the MSc Business Analysis and Consulting and the International Master in Project Management (IMPM). I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK) and a Certified Management and Business Educator. My research interests lie broadly in supply chain management and Industry 4.0. More specifically, I focus on supply chain risk and resilience analysis, digital supply chains, operational innovation, and the management of supply chains in the renewable energy sector. I currently supervise several PhD projects in these areas and welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students who share these interests and can demonstrate the practical application of their research to support decision-makers through real-world case studies.
