About

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Institute of Environmental Science (CML) at Leiden University (2020-2024). From December 2020 to March 2024, I examined the environmental opportunities and challenges posed by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in sustainable supply chain operations, from an industrial to product perspective. In this work, I utilized literature review, grey correlation and forecasting modeling, hybrid agent-based and system dynamics modeling, and ex-ante life cycle assessment to explore the impact of IoT/RFID technologies on industrial logistics from the triple bottom line dimensions. Additionally, I investigated the environmental benefits and costs of emerging IoT systems and its role in stimulating Li-ion battery supply chain operations.

Research Interests

I am focusing on evaluating the environmental impacts of emerging technologies (e.g. Industry 4.0 technologies) on sustainable supply chain operations based on system dynamics modeling and life cycle assessment, and integrating them to input-output table for muti-regional research.
