Prof. Gary Graham has recently joined LJMU from Leeds University Business School. His main area of research and impact relates to the manufacturing industry. The work focuses along three themes: first, the potential for the development of local manufacturing capacity through new technological paradigms such as distributed manufacturing, makerspace ecosystems and smart cities; second, the impact of digitalization on manufacturing processes and third; the resilience of manufacturing firms to compounding shocks and disruptions. He has previously worked with colleagues at LJMU on projects related to humanitarian logistics, digitalization tools and human centred analytics.
