Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 337-371, January 2027.Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives.

Modelling Sustainability Performance in Manufacturing Companies
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 6246-6263, September 2026.ABSTRACT Nowadays, organisations need to operate with economic, social and environmental goals in mind. Indices objectively quantify such goals; hence, an organisation can develop and compare policies based on future index values. We propose a system dynamics‐based model of a manufacturing company that frames its operations in terms of a set of easily ...
