About

Sercan Demir is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of supply chain management, artificial intelligence, and sustainability — fields that have grown increasingly intertwined in the era of Industry 4.0. His scholarship investigates how intelligent technologies, including AI, robotics, and autonomous systems, are reshaping industrial operations and logistics, with a particular focus on making these systems smarter and more sustainable. His 2020 chapter on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in supply chain management highlights the transformative potential of these technologies since the early 2000s, offering a timely industrial perspective that has already attracted scholarly attention. Demir has further contributed a novel geometric mean-based maturity model for evaluating smart and sustainable supply chain readiness, addressing a critical gap in how organizations benchmark their digital transformation journeys. More recently, his conceptual framework for smart and sustainable aviation operations demonstrates an expanding scope, tackling the sector's urgent challenge of balancing rapid passenger growth with carbon reduction goals. With citations accumulating across multiple languages and disciplines, Demir represents a thoughtful voice in the global conversation on sustainable, technology-driven operations management.
