My research is trying to explore the foundation of ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø – the interdisciplinary work among economic impact, social impact and environmental impact.
My research focus is mathematical modeling with applications in global ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø issues such as remanufacturing, biofuel, pollution-emission controls, renewable energy and closed-loop supply chains.
After researching pollution issues in coal-fired power plants, I am now moving forward to examine clean energy in two ways. One is working on mathematical modeling about inventory level at a reducing price in clean energy settings. The second is investigating how cultural factors affect the adoption and diffusion of solar photovoltaic roof-top systems (or solar PV panels) among households.
The impact of my research on the environment is through promoting renewable energy development in a systematic manner: Optimize inventory decision making in the whole supply chain scenario with quick, clean energy technology development while introducing culture factors into marketing strategies analysis.
