Infrastructure investment is an important driver for multiple outcomes. It is a foundation for the operation of society and economies. My research focused on significant process or infrastructure improvements for medium to large scale manufacturing, production, distributing enterprises, often through commitments and collaboration between public and private capital.

Integrating business analytics, industrial engineering, strategic finance and risk management perspective enables positive alternatives that strengthen industries and address sectors on a market-wide scale through planning, building, operation, and iteration.

My work at the industrial research institute centered around how innovation and technology can improve the delivery of critical infrastructure while optimizing existing infrastructure to increase capacity, reduce maintenance and operating costs, and improve the reliability and safety of infrastructure assets. This included developing working models of on-device AI applications, e.g. image classification, keyphrase detection, object detection, and object tracking. This is core knowledge that is retained by the Taiwanese semiconductor industry.

Due to COVID-19, my focus later shifted to applying my public affairs and crisis experience in pharmaceuticals during a past avian flu outbreak to update enterprise risk management frameworks and ensure business continuity for Taiwan's high tech industries. Including, developing simulations of pandemic response scenarios, managing the impact of disruption and returning to business-as-normal when systematic risks happen.

### Highlights

* Created a systems mapping framework based on triple bottom line theory to develop a more comprehensive deal sourcing model for the identification of investment opportunities that accelerate sustainable economic growth, for a Taiwan government-backed pension fund

* Application of co-opetiton to data analysis frameworks and end-to-end IoT integration in the Taiwan dairy supply chain for a National Applied Research Labs initiative. The result is reduced cost variance in consumer dairy staple goods, while enabling value-added agriculture and food markets.

* Case study on post-Concorde era enterprise risk management at Air France to improve aviation logistics and passenger safety, minimizing catastrophic events during pre-flight, take-off and initial climb stages

* Integrating corporate social responsibility with enterprise risk management risk architecture, at an EU corporate sustainability conference

* The role of consumer-level smart devices in the empowerment of smart grids to minimize orange-level events and stabilize operating reserves of electricity in Taiwan, for Oxford University

### Seminars

* Trends and applications of game theory in supply chain management

* Application of option valuation techniques to capital budgeting decisions

* Real options analysis for due diligence in mergers and acquisitions
