Curriculum Vitae

Jorge Chicaiza-Vaca is a PhD candidate at ITPL at the Technical University Dortmund since 2017. He holds a BSc in Industrial Engineering and a MSc in Operations Management. He did a research internship in the Center for Latin-American Logistics Innovation -CLI- MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) part of the Global SCALE Network of Supply Chain Research Centers, in the logistics for megacities project. He has more than eight years of professional experience in Ecuadorian manufacture companies. He also was the first executive director of the national association of logistics professionals (ASOLOG) in Ecuador. Nowadays, his work is related to Behavioral Operations Research combining simulation and optimization approaches to solve logistics problems.
