Bio

Dr. Mohammad Marufuzzaman received his Ph.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) from Mississippi State University (MSU) in 2014. He then joined the department as an Assistant Professor in August 2015. His main areas of interest lie in developing mathematical models and solution approaches to solve various stochastic programming and discrete optimization problems, with a particular application in agricultural supply chain network design problems, network interdependency, stochastic/robust energy system design, and many others. Till now, Dr. Maruf secured ~$7.8 million research grants (from federal and industry), published 52 journal articles, including articles in Transportation Science, IISE Transactions, and Annals of Operations Research, and graduated 7 Ph.D. and 4 masters’ students. Dr. Maruf is currently serving as the chair of the Transportation Working Group at MSU. He is a member of INFORMS and IISE.

ONGOING RELATED RESEARCH

Dr. Maruf and his team are currently investigating to develop new and innovative COVID-19 specific training modules to keep the meat processing workforce safe during this pandemic situation. This preliminary observation will allow us to redesign the activities/operations, add additional layers of safety measures for the vulnerable workforce and the operations (e.g., divider shield), optimal locations for the hand hygiene within the same production facility, and many more. Upon virtually testing the safety procedures, the team will provide appropriate training and guidance to the workforce to better practice the safety measures under this pandemic situation. The end goal is to examine how improving worker safety can ensure continuous food supply and possibly prevent disrupting the supply chain network, which has even a far-reaching impact. The knowledge gained from this work can be used to improve the supply chain resiliency of other labor-intensive food/agricultural suppliers.
