FUNDED RESEARCH
Leila's research in project management has two broad directions: 1) performance evaluation in complex projects and portfolios and 2) improving project management practices using data analytics and new technologies.
Supervision
Leila is an active research mentor who provides supervision, co-supervision, mentoring and assessment for doctoral and masters students in Australia and overseas. She has supervised three PhD students and two Master by research students to completion.
She currently supervises three PhD students in the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building and co-supervises a third PhD student in the UTS Faculty of Science. She is interested in working with civil and industrial engineering students with strong quantitative skills that can be applied to the project management field.
Current PhD projects:
• Machine Learning Approaches for Handling Uncertainties in Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problems (commenced 2020)
• Disruptive Technology applications in Disaster Management Systems (commenced 2021)
• Outcomes-based Decision Support for Investments in Social Infrastructure (commenced 2017)
Completed PhD projects:
• Efficient solution Methods for Just-in-time Machine and Shop Scheduling Problems (completed 2022)
• Including generative mechanisms in project scheduling using hybrid simulation (completed 2021)
• Gaming, Simulation and Decision Making in Project Portfolio Management (completed 2018)
