Research Overview

My research stream focuses on building resilient and sustainable supply chain networks through social science research approaches and techniques. I am currently conducting research on, Supply Chain Resilience and Sustainability with a particular interest in Food Systems; Sustainable Operations Management; Information Systems; Humanitarian Supply Chains and Circular Economy.

My doctoral thesis investigated how to effectively build resilience and sustainability in contemporary perishable food supply chain networks. There are multiple risks and vulnerabilities in the perishable food industry which are continually evolving, catalysed by complexities and dynamism emanating from globalisation, technological advancements and a highly competitive business environment.
