Aseem Kinra is the Professor for Supply Chain Systems Transitions at Heriot-Watt University. Aseem joined Heriot-Watt from the University of Bremen in Germany where he held the chaired professorship in Global Supply Chain Management and led the International Graduate School (IGS) of Log Dynamics, the Bremen Research Cluster on Logistics. He has previously also worked as a tenured Associate Professor at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. Aseem is an experienced scholar of global supply chains with a focus on complexity, barriers and value in cross- border value chains, especially in relation to logistics and transportation systems. Aseem’s research is highly interdisciplinary and at Heriot-Watt he works within a group of interdisciplinary scholars ramping up the systems transition lab. Amongst others, his current work within supply chain transitions examines the relationship between (renewable) energy , global supply chains, transportation, logistics and mobility that impacts climate change. The focus is on the development of easy-to-use systems transition approaches for operations planning and decision analysis tasks to counter unsustainable, non-resilient business operations and supply chain behaviors, and practices.
