Mir Saman Pishvaee Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran. Mir Saman Pishvaee is an Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology. He received his Ph.D. from University of Tehran in 2012 and initiated his work as a faculty member at SIE since 2013. His research vision is concentrated mainly on Supply chain management, Robust optimization and Biofuel supply chain planning. He has published a number of book chapters and scientific articles in the field of biofuel supply chain design and planning. Till 2018, six of his papers are among the WOS highly-cited papers and he also ranked among the Top 1 percent researchers (Engineering area) in 2018 based on ISI-ESI report. Shayan Mohseni PhD student, Department of Industrial Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran. Shayan Mohseni is a PhD student in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology. He has a broad research interest in supply chain design and optimizations, particularly in biomass-based biofuel supply chains. He has successfully published four first-author journal articles covering various topics on biomass supply chains. His recent research is focused on incorporating sustainability in the design and operations of microalgae -based biofuel supply chains, dealing with uncertainty using robust optimization and stochastic programming approaches, and modeling competition and interaction between different parties in biomass supply chains with game theory-based optimization models. Samira Bairamzadeh Researcher, School of Industrial Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran. Samira Bairamzadeh is currently working as a postdoc researcher in the School of Industrial Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST). She obtained her Ph.D. in industrial engineering from IUST with a thesis titled 'A sustainable lignocellulosic biomass-to-biofuel supply chain network design under multiple uncertainties.' Her research activity is focused on the biomass supply chain network design and optimization, robust optimization, and sustainability concepts in the biomass supply chains. She has published three first-author journal articles, covering various topics such as multi-objective robust optimization approaches, sustainability aspects, as well as supply chain management new paradigms in the design and operations of biomass to biofuel supply chains.
