PhD Candidate Researcher (Supply Chain and Decision Sciences)

HEC Montreal - GERAD, Montreal, Canada

A PhD Candidate involved in 1) designing environmental regulations, 2) proposing best pricing and production strategies of a supply chain in response to those regulations, and 3) Exploring the financial and environmental aspects of such regulations.

Selected Accomplishments

  • Designed a generalized framework to design and assess environmental regulations in Supply Chain context.
  • Proved that environmental regulation's success depends on the responsibility dynamics of the supply chain.
  • Explored the dynamic interplay of companies and regulators when municipalities are investing in green economy.
