Professor and Eugene M. Isenberg Chair in Integrative Studies, UMass Amherst

As of April 2021, I am the Eugene M. Isenberg Chair in Integrative Studies at the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Previously, I was the John F. Smith Memorial Professor of Operations Management at the Isenberg School. In 2001, I founded the Virtual Center for Supernetworks at the Isenberg School, which I continue to serve as Director of. I have had over 225 journal articles published and 16 books on various network themes including supply chains. My recent awards include being elected a Fellow of the Network Science Society in 2019 and also receipt of The Constantin Caratheodory Prize from the International Society of Global Optimization. In 2020 I received the Harold Larnder Prize, and am only the second female to receive this award, which has been given annually for 35 years.

As of 2022, I am a Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Kyiv School of Economics in Ukraine and I continue to serve on its International Academic Board.

Professor Anna Nagurney is regularly contacted by the media due to her expertise on network systems and supply chains.
