The University of Edinburgh Business School is now accepting applications for a funded 4-year Ph.D. in Financial Technology, specifically around the theme of environmental risks in supply chain networks.
The selected student will collaborate on a project that will study how environmental risks affect supply chain networks and how firms can best adapt their supply chain to protect it against those risks. Specifically, it will combine Artificial Intelligence and Robust Optimisation techniques to study the effects of environmental risks on the supply chain networks and suggest alterations that can make supply chains less vulnerable to environmental shocks and climate change.
