Dr Wessam Abouarghoub
Reader in Logistics and Operations Management, Co-ordinator for Transport, Shipping Port and Maritime Research Group (TRANSPAM)
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
Dr. Wessam Abouarghoub joined the school in June 2013 as a Lecturer in Logistics and Operations Management, after finishing his PhD studies at Bristol Business School.
He holds an MSc in Shipping Trade and Finance from CASS Business School, City London University and a PhD in Maritime Economics. In his thesis entitled 'Implementing the New Science of Risk Management to Tanker Freight Markets' he employs advanced quantitative techniques for measuring and managing financial risk for shipping freight markets, and compares the suitability of such proposed methodologies against current market practices, which are carried out by ship-owners and cargo-owners. Thus, his research interest is centred on Maritime Economics and in particular Shipping Risk Management.
During his PhD studies, Wessam was employed as an associated Lecturer at Bristol Business School, teaching on a variety of topics, such as Economics, International Trade, Applied Econometrics, Mats & Stats and Research Methods at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels. His quantitative modelling research and teaching is carried out using variety of computer statistical packages such as SPSS, RATS, OxMetrics, Eviews and Microfit. Prior to launching his academic career in 2006 with an MSc in Finance and a PhD in Economics, he obtained a certificate of competency from the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) in Maritime Navigation as Chief Mate/Captain. In addition, he had worked for 6 years on different types of vessels, such as tankers, general cargo and passenger ships.
