My research is focused on way to create industrial systems that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. In particular, my work focuses on the design, management and control of closed-loop supply chains.

Closed-loop supply chain management is the design, control and operation of a system to maximize value creation over the entire life-cycle of a product with dynamic recovery of value from different types and volumes of returns over time.

As of 25 June 2008, my research has Citations:1435, h-index:22, g-index:36, hc-index:16, hI-index:8.64, hI-norm:15, AWCR:179.43, AW-index:13.40, AWCRpA:83.59 (to do a full citation search on my research use VDR Guide as the author name – it gets complicated with 3 names and this is probably a lower bound given the weird permutations I’ve found when people cite my work).
