Dr Dhanan Utomo
Assistant Professor
I am focusing on the application of operational research methods, especially agent-based modelling and simulation, on logistics and supply chains. I have been investigating the least cost solutions to decarbonise logistics systems, among others, by agent-based models for urban long-haul logistic operations.
In addition, I am also interested in developing methodologies to elicit real-world actor’s decision rules. I am pursuing this by developing a special survey method called scenario-based questionnaire and role playing games methods. These methods are being tested in the case of agri-food supply chain in Indonesia.
Areas of interest
- Modelling and simulation, behavioural modelling, agent-based modelling, system dynamics, discrete event simulation, quantitative studies, logistics and supply chains
