Amir Salimi Babmiri

Overview

I am a PhD candidate at Cardiff University, focusing on modeling and understanding the impact of consumer purchasing behavior on global supply chain decisions related to anti-slavery practices. With a background in socio-economic systems engineering and social science research methods, I am dedicated to exploring the role of consumers in socially sustaiable management of global supply chains. My interdisciplinary research aims to bridge the gap between consumer behaviors and supply chain strategies, ultimately contributing to development of sustainable global supply networks. My PhD project, titled "Understanding and Modelling the Impact of Consumer Purchasing Behaviour on the Global Supply Chains' Decisions in Adapting Anti-Slavery Practices,"  includes three main goals: analyzing consumer attitudes and behaviour towards modern slavery, developing a multi-level and multi-stakeholder approach to link consumer actions with supply chain strategies, and creating innovative machine learning models to predict buying behaviors contributing to proactive actions by upstream supply chain.
