Senior Lecturer in Business Analytics
Roles and Responsibilities
Programme Director (MSc Business Analytics, 2018-2022)
Background
Graduated from the University of Ottawa (PhD in Mechanical Engineering), I joined the UEBS in 2018 as a lecturer in Business Analytics and was promoted to senior lecturer (Associate Professor) in 2022. Prior to joining the UEBS, I held a position and worked at the University of Kent. At UEBS, I teach/have taught a number of UG and PG subjects including Management Science and Operations Analytics, Soft Computing, and Mathematical Programming. I have received/been nominated for the UEBS Excellence in Teaching and Edinburgh University Students Association (EUSA) Teaching awards. In a broad outline, my research interests lie in three interrelated areas of operational research, operations management and computational intelligence. My current research focuses on tactical design and operational planning of logistics, supply chain, and telecommunication networks under data uncertainty and random disruption; I also have a keen interest in Behavioural Operations Research. I have published a number of articles in journals such as EJOR, IJPE, JORS, IJPR, C&OR and others. I currently serve as the associate editor of the International Journal of Systems Science: Operations & Logistics (Taylor &Francis). I am a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy.
