I am Alireza Safarpour, a researcher at CITER – Center for Innovation and Technology Research at Tampere University, where I am also pursuing a PhD. My academic interests focus on artificial intelligence, circular economy, sustainability, supply chains, and governance. My research examines how emerging technologies and governance frameworks interact with supply chain and sustainability challenges, with particular attention to the role of public policy in enabling sustainable and circular practices. I aim to contribute to the development of innovative, evidence-based policies that support sustainable development and enhance societal well-being.
