Paul Tae-Woo Lee is a Professor at School of Business IT and Logistics and Leader of The One Belt and One Road Research Lab in Ocean College, Zhejiang University, China. He received his PhD from Cardiff University in the UK.  He was a Visiting Scholar at, among others, the Faculty of Economics and Politics in Cambridge, University of Plymouth, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Dalian Maritime University. His research interests include maritime economics and maritime logistics. He is Editor-in-Chief of Journal of International of Logistics and Trade and an Associate Editor of Journal of Shipping and Trade. Zaili Yang is Professor of Maritime Transport at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK. His research interests are system safety, security and risk based decision making modelling, especially their applications in marine and supply chain systems. He has received more than 20 research grants from the EU and UK research councils, etc.and completed 5 postdoctoral and 17 doctoral projects. He is currently supervising 12 PhD students. His research findings have been published in more than 160 refereed papers in risk and supply chain areas, including over 70 (55 SCI/SSCI-cited) journal papers.
