Yogendra is a doctoral researcher and Teaching Associate, affiliated to the Centre for Simulation, Analytics and Modelling. His doctorate research is in the realm of Operations Research with a focus on modelling the supply chain dynamics under the expert supervision of Prof Stephen Disney, a globally acclaimed scientist, and Dr Okechukwu Okorie, a high multidisciplinary repute. Yogendra’s recent and ongoing publications are focused on reducing the bullwhip effect, NSAmp, and MRP nervousness through analytical modelling, utilising applied mathemetics, value stream mapping, and control system engineering. Additionally, his other works employ empirical studies and econometric modelling to develop a framework for future self-learning supply chains, and to achieve net-zero emissions.

Prior to PhD, demonstrating a robust multidisciplinary background, he worked and published in diverse fields including Astrodynamics, Space Trajectory Optimisation, Space Mission Design, and Mechanical Engineering. He is also a reviewer to the Journal of Cleaner Production (Impact Factor- 11.1). Among other awards, he has been recognised with two Gold Medals, prestigious University of Exeter Business School PTA scholarship, School Commendation, and few university-wide accolades.

He has worked with various industries in different capacities, for instance, Infosys (USA), DVLA, Government of the United Kingdon (UK), Ceva Logistics (USA), DHL (USA), Asahi Shimbun (Japan), NHS (Scotland), Yamaha Motors (India), Continental (India), Airbus Defence & Space (UK) on a project for European Space Agency (Europe) and NASA (USA), and academic institutions including at University of Surrey (UK), Aoyama Gakuin University (Japan), Birmingham City University (UK), Cranfield University (UK), University of Texas (USA), Virginia Tech (USA), and University of Tasmania (Australia).
