I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management in the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction at University College London (UCL IRDR), and a visiting fellow of the Risk & Resilience Management of Complex Socio-Technical Systems research group in Politecnico di Milano in Italy. I joined UCL from Aston University in Birmingham, where I was a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Supply chain management, the director of undergraduate logistics and supply chain management programmes, and the Teaching Excellence Framework lead for the logistics and supply chain management subject area.
I am a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CMILT), and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA).


My research investigates responsible supply chain design in high uncertainty environments, I have widely published on humanitarian supply chains, supply chain design, and the resilience of small and medium enterprises SMEs in high uncertainty environments.
I build on my years of professional experience and academic expertise to develop multi-disciplinary collaborative research projects and often contribute to key practitioners' forums (e.g., the World Food Programme Logistics Cluster meeting, and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals conference).
I am accepting PhD candidates interested in the broad topic of humanitarian logistics and supply chain (management, design and resilience), ethical procurement and procurement localisation. Please get in touch if interested.
I've led and taught modules in supply chain management, research methods, and project management to undergraduate, postgraduate, MBA and PhD students in Sweden, Italy, and the UK.
At IRDR, I teach Humanitarian Logistics in the BSc programme, Practice and Appraisal of Research and coordinate the independent research project in the MSc and MRes programmes.
