Research interests

Jason’s core research focuses on two broad themes:

Sustainable/circular supply chain management, with a particular focus on customer-driven supply chain sustainability practices and their impacts on supplying firms. This includes using carbon neutrality practices, circular product design, business model innovation, and supply chain redesign to improve economic and environmental benefits in sustainable development.

The application of blockchain technology in supply chain management, exploring its contributions to supply chain transparency, visibility, and traceability, and thus the development of supply chain resilience and robustness.

Jason also works on manufacturing and sustainability innovation in the construction sector, such as prefabricated construction, to develop sector-specific sustainability strategies.
