Operations Management-Supply Chain-Information Systems Download CV

Dr Jason Monios is Professor of Maritime Logistics at Kedge Business School, Marseille, France. His research revolves around three key areas: maritime transport (port system evolution, collaboration and integration in port hinterlands, port and shipping governance and policy, institutional and regulatory settings), intermodal transport (corridors, dry ports, terminal development, business models and logistics strategies, also including urban logistics) and sustainability and environmental concerns (maritime sustainability, decarbonisation and environmental policy, green ports, climate change adaptation, autonomous and electric vehicles). He has led numerous research projects on these topics with a total budget of over €1m and contributed to many others. He has over 100 peer-reviewed academic publications with over 2,500 citations and is an experienced PhD supervisor and examiner. He has worked with national and regional transport authorities and authored technical reports with UNCTAD, UN-ECLAC and the World Bank. In 2021 and 2022 the Stanford/Elsevier ranking placed him in the top 2% of logistics researchers globally, and in 2022 his work on climate change adaptation was cited in the IPCC report.
