Topic:
Emergency logistics, or more widely humanitarian logistics, refers to the organization and planning of the flow of goods, operations, and services before and during disasters, crises, or emergencies, such as natural disasters, pandemics, or civil crises (Kundu et al., Emergency resource supply, scheduling, and distribution are crucial. The research aims to develop a methodology combining Artificial Intelligence (Sapkota et al., 2026) and the Physical Internet (Montreuil, 2011, Pan et al., 2025) to transform emergency logistics, which is currently too slow and inflexible in the face of multiple crises and faced with significant dormant stocks outside of crises. The solution would enable adaptive, shared resource management of emergency stocks and flows, and logistics services. The goal is to reduce delays, costs, and environmental impact, while ensuring coordination between actors, sovereignty over critical product flows, and regional resilience.
Research team:
A team on a human scale, benevolent, competent, ambitious, open to the international, and in constant contact with the business reality (companies, public services, NGOs, etc.).
Applicant's profile:
Holder of a master's degree in engineering, science, or management with proven knowledge in one or more of the following fields: industrial engineering, supply chain management, artificial intelligence, decision sciences, data sciences, applied mathematics, simulation models, decision support systems, or business intelligence. A strong background in logistics and supply chain management is highly desirable.
A good level of English, both in writing and presentation, is required. Strong skills or a strong motivation in computer programming are preferred.
