Roles:

  • Member of the Business Analytics and Applied Economics Group (BAAE)
  • UG Academic Advisor

Dr Güven Demirel is Lecturer in Supply Chain Management at Queen Mary University of London. He holds a PhD in Physics from the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. He previously worked as Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany; as Research Fellow at the Nottingham University Business School, UK and Lecturer at the Essex Business School, UK. He is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

 

Postgraduate Teaching

  • Masterclass in Business Analytics (BUSM131)
  • Quantitative Research Methods (BUSM014)

Research

Research Interests:

Guven conducts interdisciplinary research on complex systems, investigating the stability and resilience of supply networks, international business networks, and ecological networks; the effectiveness of supplier development programs; and the co-evolution of the network structure and contact processes. He uses methods from complex networks, dynamical systems theory, operations research, and game theory.
