Project description
The PhD project is concerned with Locational Analysis, with particular
emphasis on Advanced Network Design and Supply Chain Structural Complexity
problems, and relevant applications in Production and Service Management.
The aim is to introduce the impact of advanced modelling features/concepts
(including k-splittable flows and structural complexity) in the field of
facility location problems, thus exploring novel and promising research
avenues.
How to apply
The deadline to apply is 1 July 2019 at 17:00 UK time. Please note that
applications will not be processed if they are incomplete or received after
