Current thesis topics include:

Inventory Optimization in Multi-Tier Supply Chains
Reducing inventory can lead to significant cost savings. However, to ensure delivery reliability in volatile environments, inventory is essential at various stages of the supply chain. This topic focuses on developing and enhancing methods for holistic inventory optimization, considering uncertain lead and replenishment times. The goal is to ensure practical applicability by integrating diverse industry-specific characteristics.

AI-Driven Transparency in Inbound Supply Chains for Risk Management
Lack of visibility beyond Tier-1 suppliers makes inbound supply chains vulnerable to unforeseen risks and delays proactive action. This topic aims to develop an innovative ML/GenAI framework that automatically predicts geographic waypoints and transport modes, enabling data-driven insights to support inbound logistics management.

Model for Predicting Logistics Infrastructure Usage in Transportation
Limited transparency regarding logistics hubs used within supply chain routes leads to delayed risk detection and missed optimization opportunities. This topic involves developing an ML/GenAI framework that automatically predicts transshipment points and connections based on known origin-destination pairs, strengthening logistics planning through data-driven decision support.
