Lou Wandong | Operation Management | Best Researcher Award

Associate Professor | Shandong Normal University | China

Dr. Wandong Lou is a dedicated scholar and educator currently serving as a faculty member at the Business School of Shandong Normal University since 2018, with over a decade of prior teaching and administrative experience at Shandong Yingcai University, where he worked as Deputy Director of the Basic Education Department and earlier as a mathematics teacher. He holds a Ph.D. in Management Science and Engineering from Tianjin University (2018), an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Shandong University (2011), and a B.S. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Shandong Normal University (2004). His research interests center on dynamic Stackelberg games, the bullwhip effect in complex supply chains, and nonlinear dynamics in supply chain and economic systems. He has made significant scholarly contributions through publications in leading journals such as RAIRO-Operations Research, Annals of Operations Research, Applied Mathematical Modelling, Entropy, Complexity, and the International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos. Notable works include studies on bullwhip effect entropy analysis, complexity of multichannel supply chains, and the impact of dual fairness concerns on bargaining games. He has actively participated in major funded projects, including those supported by the National Social Science Foundation of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, as well as leading provincial-level research initiatives. Proficient in computational tools such as Matlab, Mathematica, R, and Lingo, Dr. Lou combines rigorous mathematical modeling with practical applications in supply chain management. His academic impact is reflected in 243 citations across 13 publications with an h-index of 8, underscoring the relevance and influence of his research in the field of management science and applied mathematics.
