Teaching and Supervision

Teaching Philosophy
My educational approach is grounded in the belief that complex theoretical models must earn their place in the classroom by solving real problems. In courses ranging from complex decision-making to global supply chains, I challenge students to engage not just with algorithms, but with the strategic consequences of those algorithms for organizations and societies. In other words, my approach centers on connecting complex theoretical models with practical industrial applications. In the field of Production and Operations Management, I strive to cultivate a problem-solving mindset in students by integrating real-world case studies and decision-making frameworks. My goal is to empower future engineers and managers not just to understand algorithms, but to critically analyze their impact on global supply chains and sustainable systems. My supervision philosophy emphasizes research independence. I expect students to engage with primary literature, formulate original questions, and develop publishable work. All of my master's students have contributed to peer-reviewed publications.
