Dr. Vipul Garg is an Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management in the College of Business at Texas A&M University–San Antonio. He holds a Ph.D. in Logistics Systems and an M.S. in Data Science from the University of North Texas, as well as a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering. His interdisciplinary training forms the foundation of his research, which integrates supply chain design, behavioral decision-making, and emerging technologies such as drones, AI, and blockchain.

Before pursuing his Ph.D., Dr. Garg gained over three years of industry experience as a Data Scientist and Product Manager, working with global clients to develop data-driven solutions in the U.S., India, and China. These experiences continue to inform his applied research and practice-oriented teaching in logistics and operations.

Dr. Garg research agenda focuses on service operations, last-mile delivery innovation, and neuro-operational excellence, utilizing tools such as EEG, eye-tracking, and advanced analytics to investigate cognition and performance in logistics contexts. His work has been published in journals including Transportation Research Part D & E, Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Production Planning and Control, International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management, and the Journal of Business and Industrial Marketing. He also serves on the editorial boards and reviews for several peer-reviewed journals across operations and marketing.

He is currently the Principal Investigator on an internally funded grant that examines the cognitive load and safety of forklift operators using biosensors. He also contributes to NSF- and NASA-supported projects on drone logistics and distracted driving. These efforts reflect his commitment to bridging theory with practice to improve operational efficiency and worker well-being.

An active member of the academic community, Dr. Garg has presented at leading conferences including CSCMP, POMS, and DSI, and was honored with the 2025 TAMUSA Rockstar Research Award. The same year, he also became a CIMER-Certified Level 1 Trained Facilitator of the Entering Mentoring curriculum, which equips him to implement evidence-based mentor training locally and nationally. In the classroom, he teaches undergraduate courses in Purchasing, Supply Chain and Operations Management, and Global Logistics, where he integrates industry tools and real-world case studies to enhance student learning.
