Multi-criteria Decision-Making Approaches to Sustainable Consumption and Production

Dr. Rui Zhao received the PhD Degree in Sustainable Design and Technology, from University of Hull, sponsored by “Hull-China Joint Research Scholarship.” Dr. Rui Zhao received a full professorship in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, China. Dr.Zhao is appointed as the Vice Dean of School of Environmental Science and Engineering. Dr.Zhao’s current research in the field of sustainable engineering has focused on mathematical modelling and computational approaches, which are capable of providing mitigation strategies to limit environmental burden, as well as promote sustainable development. A significant proportion of his research is an interdisciplinary study, while using system theory to identify environmental issues in order for better decision making in the area of low carbon production and consumption.
