Jingjing Yu

Jingjing Yu is a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and Business at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, Spain, where she began her position in September 2024. Her academic work integrates operations research, logistics, and sustainability within maritime transportation systems.

Education:

• PhD in Information Systems, Universität Hamburg, Germany (2018–2024)
• PhD Candidate, Faculty of Infrastructure Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, China (2015–2018)

Her research focuses on port operations optimization, green technologies in shipping, shore side electricity, vessel emissions modeling, and simulation-based decision support systems. She applies advanced modeling techniques to improve sustainability and efficiency in maritime logistics, with applications in smart city transport systems.

Her recent publications span high-impact journals such as Transportation Research Part E, Journal of Cleaner Production, and Automation in Construction. The works collectively emphasize integrated optimization of berth allocation, quay crane assignment, vessel speed, and energy use, with a strong trend toward environmental sustainability and data-driven modeling in port operations.

Scientific Contributions and Grants:

• Contract: Cloud application for the optimal distribution of onshore power in ports (2023–2023), organized by Hamburg Innovation GmbH and funded by the Ministry of Science, Research, Equalities and Districts of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
• Contract: Smart city: Shifting modalities into advanced regional transport modalities (2021–2024), funded by the same ministry.

Jingjing Yu has served as a peer reviewer for journals including Energy Conversion and Management, Public Transport, and Transportation Research. She collaborates extensively with researchers such as Stefan Voß, Guolei Tang, and Philip Cammin. While no formal advising of students is mentioned, her active research and grant involvement suggest leadership in ongoing projects. She maintains an ORCID profile and is affiliated with UPF’s Department of Economics and Business, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her work.
