Yasaman Asayesh

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and bring seven dynamic years of industry experience to my academic journey. During my time in the field, I worked as a Product Manager for a company that served as a sales partner for globally renowned firms such as SIEMENS, Olympus, and Medtronic in Iran. While working, I also pursued and earned my MBA, which deepened my understanding of business and management practices.

Motivated by a growing passion for research, I transitioned back to academia and earned a Master’s degree in Healthcare Management from the University of Massachusetts (Dartmouth). Currently, I am a 4th-year Ph.D. Candidate in the Supply Chain and Operations department at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota.

My research explores how manufacturing communities can be sustained while adapting to evolving socioeconomic conditions. Manufacturing communities consist of goods-producing firms and their workforce, while their sustainability manifests in workforce well-being, labor stability, and business viability. Using diverse datasets and research methods like causal inference and machine learning, I investigate how implementation of new health policy, shifts in the labor market, and expansion of supply chain networks affect performance metrics reflecting manufacturing sustainability.
