Overview
Vasco is a Professor of Sustainable Supply Chain Management, and acts as Programme Director of the Ocado's Operational Excellence in Supply Chain Management and Logistics Training Course and MSc Sustainable Supply Chain Management, and holds several external leadership roles - Chair of the Logistics Research Network, editorial board member of Resources Conservation & Recycling, External Examiner of Supply Chain Management & Logistics modules of the Universities of Derby and Middlesex.
Vasco contributes actively to leading organisations within the UK retail, food/drinks and European logistics sectors through the wide range of knowledge-transfer and applied-research activities he leads. Vasco also publishes actively in prime international academic journals, leads applied-research projects, generates funding proposals, and secures funding with strong support from his industry collaborators. The bulk of Vasco's research is relevant to both local and global supply chains, and topical areas such as sustainability, circular economy, decarbonization, the shared economy and risk management & resilience. His research is published widely in principal international journals and contributes to the 2021 UK Research Excellence Framework Cardiff University's submission with two 4* and 17 3* publications.
Currently, Vasco acts as principal investigator or co-investigator of several applied research projects, including Co-Growth, Giro Zero, a range of projects funded by Ocado and is the co-founder og the annual innovation Lean Effectiveness Green Operations (iLEGO) workshop. Since 2018 Vasco has secured a total of £4 million from WEFO, Welsh Government, Innovate UK and the Engineering Physical Science Research Council and the UK Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy and the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Developmet Office, funding used to run these projects.
Vasco collaborates with external academics from British and international Universities, i.e., Universidas del Pacifico (Peru), Universidad del Desarollo (Chile), Universidad del Cuyo (Argentina), Universidade de Campinas, Universidade Federal de Bahia (Brazil), Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), HEC Montreal (Canada), Portland State University, Worcester Politechnic Institute (USA), Newcastle, Cranfield, Aston and Strathclyde (UK), and holds visiting professor roles in several universities across South America.

Supervisions
I am interested in PhD supervision in the below topical research questions.
1) How can circular economy models enhance the sustainable performance of supply chains?
2) How can shared-economy models enable productivity, environmental performance and resilience of medium, small and micro enterprises?
3) How can food supply chains be better prepared and more responsive to black swam events such as the Ukraine War, COVID-19 and the cost-of-living crisis?
4) How can a food supply chain be designed and run for the purpose of minimising and mitigating the direct economic, environmental and social impacts of food waste?
5) How can carbon footprint be measured and minimised in logistics networks across road, rail and water transport modes?
I am also very keen to supervise PhD students that focus on areas such as sustainability in the context of supply chains and logistics, collaborative business models, circular economy and suppy chain risk management.
