KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Oct. 30, 2024 \u2013 Mahtab Kouhizadeh<\/a>, assistant professor of supply chain management at the 溏心vlog免费B站, has been recognized among the top scientists around the globe by Stanford University\u2019s Top 2% Scientists list, recognizing the most influential researchers across a broad range of fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stanford list, considered the most prestigious in the world, is based on bibliometric factors contained in the Scopus database provided by Elsevier, a global information analytics company and academic publisher. The rankings consider scholars who have published multiple highly cited papers and uses various metrics to evaluate the citation impact of researchers\u2019 work over their career and a single year. The rankings<\/a> are based on citations from 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis ranking identifies top scientists with a percentile of 2% or higher in all fields and within the subfield of business and management\u2014so being included among this group is a great honor,\u201d said Kouhizadeh. \u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to gain recognition from fellow scholars, especially at an early stage in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kouhizadeh was one of two professors in the College of Business to earn the honor. Lauren Labrecque<\/a>, professor of marketing was named to the list for the second year in a row, ranking 21,591 overall and 135th in marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kouhizadeh, who earned her Ph.D. in operations management from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2021, has focused her research on supply chain management, blockchain technology, network optimization, and sustainability. In selecting her research topics, she chooses to explore issues that impact businesses, along with emerging technologies, such as blockchain, and their implications on supply chain management and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSupply chain management fascinates me because it connects a network of organizations involved in delivering products and services to customers,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery product you buy from a store has a journey to get there, involving various logistics, operations, and scheduling. I focus on network optimization to improve supply chain networks by reducing costs and increasing efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That includes integrating sustainable practices in supply chain management to mitigate negative environmental impacts and promote long-term viability for businesses and society, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kouhizadeh\u2019s research has been published in such peer-reviewed journals as Production Planning and Control and Industrial Management and Data Systems, and garnered more than 6,800 citations since her first paper was published in 2018, according to Google Scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her most cited papers have been on timely topics and published in leading journals in the field: \u201cBlockchain technology and its relationships to sustainable supply chain management,\u201d published in the International Journal of Production Research in 2019, has been cited 3,518 times; and \u201cBlockchain technology and the sustainable supply chain: Theoretically exploring adoption barriers,\u201d published in the International Journal of Production Economics in 2021, has garnered 1,068 citations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving my work cited means that other scholars use and reference my research, ideas, or findings in their own work,\u201d she said. \u201cIt shows that my research is being recognized and my insights are contributing to the advancement of the scholarly field and influencing new research developments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kouhizadeh, who joined 溏心vlog免费B站 in fall 2021 after earning her Ph.D., says she was attracted by 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s strong supply chain management program, which includes numerous faculty who have worked professionally in the field. \u201cThe College of Business stands out for its supportive and collegial environment, which I truly appreciate,\u201d she said. \u201cI enjoy working with passionate supply chain students who thrive in this collaborative environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her journey as a professor, she says her teaching and research are connected and she finds working with student researchers rewarding, allowing her to mentor students while including their perspectives in her research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI view my research as a means to support my teaching by offering students current knowledge and real-world applications,\u201d she said. \u201cMy goal is to create a synergistic relationship where my research informs my teaching and my teaching, in turn, inspires new avenues of research.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
