Bio

I am a graduating Ph.D. Candidate in Industrial Engineering studying supply chain reconfiguration in uncertain market demand. Prior to beginning my doctoral work, I performed adhesion studies for robotic 3d printing, and I also served as a project engineer for the nanotechnology patronas group, where we endeavored to commercialize a sensor for wind turbines. It is my intention to use my diversified skillset to teach the next generation of scholars.

Research

This research work identifies a method not only minimize the long lead time and suboptimalities due to sequential decision-making by assessing manufacturability and its impact on the configuration and reconfiguration of the assembly process plan and supply chain network design. This body of work also provides a quantitative methodology to help deal with the accelerated change in market demand, even during disasters by rapidly generating new supply chain networks as the location of demand changes or by repurposing resources from existing supply chain networks when the global supply chain has been irreparably damaged due to a global event.
