Andres F. Jola-Sanchez
I am an assistant professor of Information and Operations Management at Mays Business School, a Research Fellow at the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and a faculty expert at the Energy Institute at Texas A&M University.
I study human-made disasters, such as armed conflicts and mass casualty incidents, from the lens of operations and supply chain management. I am an inaugural Research Leadership Fellow at Texas A&M University for the study of human-made disasters and their impact on firms' operations and supply chains.
Research interests
Despite the United Nations' goal of achieving peace, justice, and strong institutions for sustainable development, armed conflicts remain a pervasive global issue. In 2022, the UN reported a record high of 100 million people being forced to flee their homes due to armed conflicts.
Production, logistics, and supply chain disruptions in war zones ripple through global economies, costing trillions of dollars annually.
Drawing from my firsthand experience in Colombia, my work seeks to provide actionable insights to assist humanitarian, private, and public sector organizations in responding to the unique operational challenges brought by human-made disasters.
