Professor Christos Tsinopoulos

School of Business & Management

Christos Tsinopoulos joined the School of Business & Management in September 2022 from Durham University where, as the Associate Dean of External Engagement, he had been leading the Executive Education activities. Previously Christos was the Head of the Management and Marketing department, one of the largest in Durham, which he led during a period of significant change and growth. 

As a Professor of operations and project management Christos led a research team in operations and technology management (CITM) and taught extensively MBA and executive education classes (in aerospace, automotive, and banking amongst others). His work, which focuses on how supply chains are best managed to achieve high levels of innovation and sustainability has been published at the top journals in the field of operations and technology management. It is frequently funded by industrial partners nationally and internationally and led to an impact case study for REF2021.  It has been used to influence policy and business strategy making e.g., on Brexit, on system integration with suppliers and customers and on the effects of open innovation.

He has been a trustee of the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS), a member of the executive committee of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers' Manufacturing Excellence awards, a visiting professor in universities in Greece (Athens), USA (Fuqua) and China (Harbin and Hunan), and, recently, a member of the Committee of Professors in Operational Research (COPIOR).

He has a PhD from the University of Warwick as well as Bachelor and Master degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Sheffield. Previously, he has been a research fellow in new product development at the Warwick Manufacturing Group and a quality and maintenance engineer for copper and aluminium industries in Greece.
