- Curriculum and statutes:
The interdisciplinary approach was a crucial motivating factor that encouraged me to choose this doctoral school. By following this approach, I came to recognize that the technical components of a system are not isolated from the economic and social environment, and that I needed to search for holistic, sustainable solutions. My research focuses on humanitarian supply chain management. The challenge in this area lies in the efficient design of the supply chain in a highly volatile environment.
