Research
My technical expertise is in supply chain optimization utilizing computer simulation modelling and optimization to design, control, and analyze supply chains, production, and manufacturing systems. Most of my research is in applied optimization problems, both within the textile complex and beyond. I also teach many industrial short courses on simulation modelling, databases, lean six sigma, design for six sigma.
