Jiachen joined the School of Management in 2016. Prior to this, she was Director of UG studies at the Department of Management Science, University of Strathclyde. During her PhD at Nottingham Trent University, Jiachen contributed to two European Commission-funded projects: the EU-Asia Link project and the EU-IT&C project. These initiatives aimed to enhance cooperation between Asia and Europe by fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges involved in transferring European information and communications technology to China, thereby improving technology exchange and the quality of Europe-China partnerships. Jiachen’s PhD research focused on exploring the factors influencing SMEs in product life cycle management and supplier selection processes.
Jiachen’s research interests span Industry 4.0-enabled servitization, healthcare improvement, and supply chain management. Her work has been published in leading journals, including Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, Information Systems Frontiers, etc.
