Post-Doctoral Researcher, she/her
Short Bio
Hello! I'm Iryna Malacina (Mah-LAH-see-nah), a post-doctoral researcher at the Business School of LUT University in Finland. I earned my D.Sc. in Supply Management from LUT.
My primary research focus is on supply network analysis, a field I am passionate about. However, my academic curiosity extends beyond that. I have also explored various topics including innovation management, environmental sustainability, and public procurement.
Regarding methodology, I am a data enthusiast with a strong skill set in various analytical techniques, particularly those related to network analysis. Currently, I am focusing on Exponential Random Graph Models, but my toolkit also includes topic modeling, surveys, case studies, and literature reviews. Regardless of the method, I consistently bring a keen analytical eye to my work, which I consider one of my strengths.
Please get in touch with me via social media or email to discuss new research ideas, explore potential collaborative opportunities, or discuss network analysis and supply management further.
