Personal statement

I joined the department as lecturer in 2019. My research interests surround supply chain management with a focus on sustainability, competitiveness and innovation. I currently teach across a number of undergraduate and postgraduate classes.

I have presented my research internationally and published in high ranking journals, including Journal of Business Research, Supply Chain Management: an International Journal and Production Planning and Control.

I previously worked as a lecturer in Fashion Marketing at Glasgow Caledonian Univeristy, and have held both teaching and research roles at the University of Strathclyde. I obtained both my PhD in Marketing and MSc in Supply Chain & Operations management from the University of Strathclyde.

Research interests

Coming from a marketing and operations background, my research interests surround competitiveness, sustainability and innovation in a supply chain context. I am currently exploring topics of circularity, disruption, resilience and digitalisation. I actively engage with industry throughout my research, with a particular emphasis on the food chain. 

I supervise PhD students in topics relating to sustainability, digitalisation and circular operations.
