Leveraging digital technologies to facilitate circular economy practices for UK food Waste reduction
My research interests include circular supply chains, sustainability, food waste reduction, logistics and transport management, and the overlap between them.
Before coming to Cardiff University, I completed BA Honours in Logistics and Transport Management and an MA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at University of Greenwich.
In my PhD research, I am looking to investigate how digital technologies can be harnessed to facilitate circular economy transition for preventing and/or mitigating food waste in the UK food sector.
The central contribution of the thesis is to shed light on how to utilize digital technology capabilities for circular supply chain to mitigate food waste.
Research Impact
The research enriches the backbones of the emerging circular supply chain management research and offers new insights into supply chain management for food waste management with an ecosystem perspective. The findings will offer managerial and policy implications for cultivating the reciprocities between food supply chain and the wider ecosystem to be effectively designed for food waste reduction.
