Maxwell Chipulu

Primary position:
Senior Teaching Fellow in Management Science

In the beginning, I was a mechanical engineer, working in the maintenance of underground copper mining equipment in Konkola, Zambia. I first came to the school as an MSc student in Management Sciences. Following my MSc, I went to work in corporate banking at Standard Chartered bank, before coming back to the school to do my PhD in Management Science and Statistics. Since then, I have taught a variety of Management Sciences/Operational Research subjects here as well as the University of Hertfordshire.
