BEng Manufacturing Engineering with Management; MBA Engineering Management; MSc Management Research

I am an academic who has had an opportunity to work in the production industry working for one of the large multinational companies involved in the supply of electronical technologies and solutions for the automotive industry. This industrial service experience ignited in me a passion to join academia and advance my organizational knowledge and understanding of issues surrounding productivity, quality management, logistics and supply chain management, simulation modelling and systems dynamics focusing particularly on the knowledge economy. Personally I am a very self-driven individual, with a strong attention to detail in every little task I do. I also have a strong passion to always strive for excellence because I believe attention to detail and pursuit of excellence is what makes a good engineer and academic.
