What I'm looking for

I seek research-focused roles or Ph.D. opportunities that combine data-driven optimization, sustainable supply chain design, and social-impact projects with collaborative, innovation-oriented teams.

I am a final-year undergraduate in Supply Chain and Operations Management with strong academic performance and hands-on experience in sustainable supply chain engineering, reverse logistics, and advanced operations research. I have led projects applying optimization and quantitative methods to real-world supply chain challenges and authored research on energy supply chain security.

I founded and currently manage a youth-focused non-profit, where I designed logistics frameworks, negotiated supplier partnerships, and implemented inventory systems that supported over 100 youths. In healthcare and humanitarian contexts, I have implemented inventory control, demand forecasting, and automated logistics systems that improved efficiency and ensured continuity of critical services.

I am seeking to pursue a Ph.D. focused on leveraging data analytics and optimization for social impact in sustainable supply chains, combining rigorous research methodology with practical implementation experience to drive innovation and resilience.
