Research

Luisa has been involved in two major EPSRC funded activities: Complexity in the Supply Chain project (GR/M57842) and Manufacturing Futures Network (EP/D059046/1). Her research work has been carried out with industrial collaborators including: Union Industries, Clariant UK plc, Sulzer Pumps, ALPLA and Graphic plc.

Luisa’s current research interests at firm and supply chain levels within the manufacturing context include: sustainable supply chains, management of disruptions to distribution/logistics, high value manufacturing and complexity in the supply chain.

She has disseminated the results of her research using various routes including: internationally ranked academic journals and several international conferences. She has also been fostering links with researchers in Latin America.

She is a member of LUBS Technology and Innovation Group (TIGr), EPSRC Manufacturing Futures Network, British Academy of Management (BAM) and European Operations Management Association (EurOMA).
