About

Dr. Ibna Zaman is a leading researcher at the intersection of big data analytics, maritime logistics, and regulatory compliance. His work is best known for identifying how data-driven technologies can transform the heavily regulated shipping industry—which accounts for roughly 3% of global carbon emissions and handles 90% of world trade. In his highly cited 2017 study (76 citations), Zaman systematically mapped the challenges and opportunities of big data analytics for upcoming environmental regulations and the industry’s digital evolution. This foundational paper has become a key reference for scholars and policymakers navigating the sector’s transition toward sustainability and automation. Beyond this flagship work, Zaman’s research portfolio explores the operational and strategic implications of digitalization in global supply chains, with a focus on real-time decision-making, emissions reduction, and regulatory adaptation. His contributions have been instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical data science and practical maritime governance, earning him recognition as a thought leader in transport informatics. For students and researchers, Zaman’s work offers a clear roadmap for applying big data to solve complex, high-stakes industrial challenges.
