My research project
Data Envelopment Analysis and its extension in the context of Railway industryThis project aims to develop a decision support system for the railway industry based on the nonparametric frontier-based approach. From the theory perspective, this project extends the existing literature to increase the discriminate power of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model and solve the biased outcome issue caused by exterior projection points. From the practice perspective, this project builds a framework to evaluate the sustainability and operations performance of the railway industry while considering the disposability of undesirable outputs (air pollution, noise pollution). The project also endogenizes the merger choice in the Railway industry by maximizing the overall potential efficiency gain (both profit and sustainability efficiency) with multiple branches.

Research projects
Improving Reconfigurability of UK Supply ChainThe aim of this research project is to create practicable methodologies for designing Reconfigurable SC that are resilient, cost effective, responsive, sustainable and able to respond to internal and external factors caused by malicious or natural events via the implementation of OR, BA and MS techniques.
