My research focuses on the nexus between supply chain sustainability and supply chain resilience in the context of the humanitarian medical cold chain. Specifically, my research explores the humanitarian energy transition to foster sustainable energy access for humanitarian medical cold chains. Through my research, I am adopting Panarchy theory perspective to shed light on the factors that legitimise and define energy solutions in the energy-intensive and energy-dependent humanitarian medical cold chain. 

Prior to joining Hanken as a Doctoral Student, I had gained +5 years of experience working in the biofuels industry by managing sustainability criteria in supply chain operations, as well as working as a legal assistant for a business law firm in Finland.
