Personal profile
Research interests
Specialising in Operations Research (OR), Machine Learning (ML), and optimisation for logistics and supply chain systems, with a proven track record of developing decision-support tools for sustainable freight operations. Developed the Domino Algorithm, a novel optimisation methodology published in 2019, and has since applied advanced metaheuristics, machine learning, and simulation modelling to support Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis and decarbonisation strategies across last-mile and long-haul road freight. Current research focuses on bi-level agent learning frameworks for modelling stakeholder decision-making during transport and logistics transitions. Combines strong technical research expertise with industry-facing project leadership, supported by an active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification since 2012.
