Dr. Gulshan Kumar Gaur

About

I completed PhD from IIT Delhi & M.Tech from IIT Kanpur. Current research focuses on the intersection of sustainability, supply chain systems, operations research, and advanced decision-making. My work focuses on optimizing packaging supply chains in emerging economies to enhance sustainability using hybrid metaheuristic algorithms (e.g., PSO, GA-SA), multi-criteria decision-making (e.g., Fuzzy AHP, DEMATEL, Bayesian BWM), system dynamics modeling, artificial intelligence, and deep learning. I aim to contribute to data-driven policy and industrial innovation by integrating simulation, optimization, and real-world complexity into scalable solutions. My research is published in leading journals such as the Flexible Services and Manufacturing Journal (Q1, ABDC C), Management of Environmental Quality (Q1, ABDC C), and Environment Systems and Decisions (Q2). Presented my research work at international conferences such as SIET (Bali, Indonesia), IEOM (Vietnam), POMS (India), SWSM (Bangkok, Thailand), ICFBP, and the Cybersecurity Management Conference—IIM Nagpur.
