Cristiam Gil is a Senior Scientist at the Hapag‐Lloyd Center for Shipping & Global Logistics (CSGL) of Kühne Logistics University. Cristiam has graduated with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering at the University of Valle in Colombia, and he finished his Ph.D. in University of Chile in January 2020.
Before joining the KLU, Cristiam worked in the GIRO-ZERO Project with Cardiff University in the UK and University of Andes in Colombia. GIRO-ZERO is a project funded of the UK Pact programme of the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The project seeks to accelerate vehicle renewal and technologies to reduce the miles run, fuel consumed, and CO2 emitted by vehicles operating within the Colombian road freight transport sector.
During his Ph.D. studies, he was awarded The Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP) scholarship from Government of Canada to do his doctoral internship in the prestigious Interuniversity Center for research in Entrepreneurial Networks, Logistics and Transportation (CIRRELT) in the École Polytechnique de Montréal-Canada, developing cutting-edge solution methods and algorithms for highly combinatorial and complex models.
