Yinuo Zhu

Profile

I am a PhD researcher in the Department of Analysis, Technology, and Operations at the University of Leeds Business School, and I joined in October 2025. Previously, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in International Business and Finance and a Master's degree in Global Supply Chain Management from the University of Leeds, which gave me a deep understanding of business knowledge and sparked my interest in supply chain operations and technological applications. In addition, I also studied a Master's program in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Management at the University of Bristol. These experiences have shaped my research interests.

Research interests

My current research interest is in the field of resilience of agricultural food supply chain under climate change, particularly how climate-induced extreme weather events disrupt food production, logistics, and market stability, and how digital technologies can strengthen supply chain resilience to support long-term food security. Specifically, I examine the interactions between climate risks, food supply dynamics, logictics performance, and price colatility within agri-food systems. This involves combining system dynamics modeling with quantitative analysis using international secondart datasets to explore complex feedback mechanisms and assess the potrntial impacts of different resilience strategies.
