Sandeep Jagtap

Dr. Sandeep Jagtap serves as a Senior Lecturer in Logistics and Supply Chain at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering, specializing in sustainable supply chains, Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, and circular economies within the Food and Bio profile area. His research bridges digital transformation with sustainability challenges in global supply networks.

His educational foundation includes a PhD in Sustainable Food Supply Chains from Loughborough University, establishing his expertise in sustainable systems design. This background informs his current work on resource efficiency and technological integration across critical sectors.

Dr. Jagtap's research focuses on digitalisation of food supply chains through IoT, blockchain, and digital twins to enhance traceability and sustainability. His work addresses Industry 5.0 implementation in agri-food systems, emphasizing human-centric approaches to sustainable manufacturing. Key areas include cybersecurity in supply networks, circular economy models for waste reduction, and resource optimization in steel and dairy industries.

Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward applied digital solutions for seafood traceability, dairy technology adoption, and steel industry sustainability. These works collectively advance frameworks for eco-centric and sociocentric manufacturing while addressing food security challenges through technological innovation.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Ranking among the top 2% of scientists globally (Stanford University & Elsevier, 2024)

Dr. Jagtap actively leads industrial collaborations and research initiatives, including the FORCE Center for Food Resilience and Competitiveness. His grant portfolio emphasizes practical implementation of digital tools for supply chain transparency and sustainability metrics, with forthcoming work on circular economy education through the X course project.

As a core member of Lund University's Food and Bio profile area, he contributes to interdisciplinary teams developing resilience frameworks for food systems. His work integrates engineering logistics with sustainability science to address UN Sustainable Development Goals across manufacturing and agricultural sectors.
