Divine Livingstone Caesar

Divine Livingstone Caesar serves as Assistant Professor in Maritime Business Administration at Texas A&M University at Galveston's College of Marine Sciences & Maritime Studies. His academic appointments and research focus position him at the intersection of maritime economics, logistics innovation, and cybersecurity within global supply chains.

Education background:

• Doctor of Philosophy in Management and Commerce, Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania (2016)
• Master of Science in Shipping and Transport, Maritime & Logistics University of Applied Sciences (2010)
• Bachelor of Arts in International Business - Logistics, Institute of Export and Shipping Management (2007)

Caesar's research spans maritime economics, logistics systems, workforce sustainability, and cybersecurity, with emphasis on empirical contingency analysis. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical maritime industry challenges, particularly in emerging economies. Recent publications demonstrate methodological sophistication through mixed-methods approaches and large-scale data analysis across diverse maritime contexts.

Publication trends from 2020-2024 reveal three dominant threads: (1) maritime workforce dynamics including retention strategies and skill resilience, (2) cybersecurity integration in port operations through Industry 4.0 technologies, and (3) cross-sectoral applications of contingency theory in logistics entrepreneurship and electric vehicle adoption. These streams collectively address sustainability challenges in global maritime systems.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Best lecturer award from Institute of Export and Shipping Management (2008)
• Scholarship of Excellence from Netherlands Maritime University (2009)
• Honorary Ambassador designation from Gwangyang Port, South Korea (2010)

Research funding demonstrates significant impact potential, including a $2.56M European Union Horizon 2020 grant on water-smart solutions (2020-2024), $90,713 International Association of Maritime Universities grant on port resilience (2023-2024), and $10,000 Texas A&M Cyber Research Institute grant on cyber-attack economic impact assessment (2023-2024). These projects support his interdisciplinary approach to maritime cybersecurity, workforce sustainability, and port technology innovation.
