Researcher biography

Hadi Shabanpour is a Ph.D. student in Environmental Management at the School of Environment (SENV) at the University of Queensland (UQ). Prior to joining UQ, he was a researcher for the "Young Researchers and Elites Club" at the IAU Karaj branch (KIAU) for eight years. He also lectured at IAU and the University of Applied Sci. & Tech. in Iran. He obtained a BSc degree in Industrial Management from KIAU and his master’s in strategic management from the IAU-Central Tehran Branch.

Research Interests

His research is interdisciplinary and focuses on the assessment of DMUs' sustainability and circularity as well as industrial eco-efficiency through DEA models. Specifically, he investigates real-world and state-of-the-art frameworks for assessing and predicting DMUs' sustainability and eco-efficiency, as well as benchmarks for practical improvement.

Title: How to assess circularity of OECD Countries? A novel dynamic network DEA framework

Description: In line with the goals of the 2030 Agenda (for sustainable development) and the Paris Climate Agreement, energy performance and especially carbon emissions should be urgently addressed. Increasing the circularity of OECD countries, (in addition to investing in renewable energy), can play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions and tackling the challenge of limitation of non-renewable energy and environmental degradation. Considering the shortcomings of macro-level circularity assessments methods and benchmarks, this project investigates a novel macro-level framework with the aim of identifying the circularity levels of OECD countries and ranking them and providing benchmarks for improving future less sustainable countries.
