My research focuses on establishing resilient supply chain networks under climate change induced events such as drought, temperature change and extreme weather conditions.

Climate change has affected the lives of Filipinos in many aspects such as increased incidence of extreme weather events, reduced agricultural productivity and power shortages. Through a systems based approach, supply chain networks can be configured to identify an appropriate energy mix while considering production targets and reducing emissions. In addition, risk analysis will be implemented to ensure the viability of such strategies. This, in turn, translates to reduced demand for mainstream energy, creating more supply for households.

Partnering with a UK institution provides access to a network of experts in various fields which can yield broader insights towards my research interest. A sustainable linkage with the UK institution will lead to producing research that will contribute positively to society.

The UK has always been a pioneer in the field of science and innovation. The broad support that they provide for exploring new ideas as well as aggressive strategies of UK-based researchers is something that Filipinos can aspire and learn from.
