Adhurim Imeri

Adhurim Imeri is a Teaching and Research Associate and lecturer at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), affiliated with the Department of Information Systems and Operations Management and Institute for Production Management. He is currently a PhD candidate advancing research in sustainable supply chain innovations while teaching core operations management courses.

His academic foundation includes a master's degree in supply chain management from WU, preceded by industry consulting experience in grocery retail and packaging sectors. This practical background informs his applied research approach.

Dr. Imeri's research focuses on waste reduction through data-driven supply chain optimization, with expertise in circular supply chains and quantitative modeling. His work develops simulation-based decision support systems targeting perishable food networks, emphasizing AI-driven forecasting and collaborative platform architectures for waste prevention.

His publication trajectory reveals consistent specialization in supply chain waste mitigation, spanning food retail collaboration models, stochastic consumer behavior analysis, and industrial production planning. The research demonstrates cross-sector applicability from grocery retail to paper manufacturing while maintaining technical rigor in optimization methodologies.

He actively contributes to two major research initiatives: FOODIS (2023-2026), a cross-border sustainability ecosystem for food value chains, and an AI-driven supply-demand matching platform (2022-2025). These projects involve extensive industry collaboration and address systemic waste reduction through technological innovation in perishable supply chains.

Within the Institute for Production Management, Dr. Imeri collaborates closely with Professor Gerald Reiner's research team, contributing to WU's leadership in sustainable operations management through both academic publications and practical industry solutions.
