Personal profile
General
Since 2001 Dr Andrew Greasley has been a Lecturer in Operations and Technology Management with the Operations and Information Management Department at Aston University. Between 1994 and 2001 he was a Lecturer (promoted to Senior Lecturer/School Reader) within the Derbyshire Business School at the University of Derby. He has also worked for Warwick University as a Teaching Associate and the University of Birmingham as a MBA Distance Learning Tutor as well as institutions in Europe and Africa.
He is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management.
He has supervised DBA and PhD students to completion and has been an internal and external DBA and PhD examiner.
He has extensive experience of working with organisations in the public and private sectors in the area of developing discrete-event simulation models in commercial software such as Arena and Simio. Details of his simulation projects can be found in the practitioner book ‘Simulating Business Processes for Descriptive, Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics’ published by DeGruyter in the USA in 2019.
He is interested in supervising PhD students and undertaking consultancy in the public and private sectors in the following areas of application:
- Simulation models which implement machine learning approaches such as reinforcement learning
- Simulation models which implement digital twins of processes
- Simulation models which model aspects of human behaviour
- Simulation models which model agent-based systems
