Professional Activities

Jessica L. Darby is an assistant professor of supply chain management in the Harbert College of Business at Auburn University. Her research explores how institutions, such as government, regulatory agencies, and financial markets, influence supply chain operations and decision-making. Darby's background as a commodity analyst sparked her interest in this space, and her research has appeared in leading supply chain management and agricultural economics journals.

 She brings her experience and research into the classroom, where she teaches students how to analyze the impacts of current events on global supply chains and recommend supply chain strategies to manage change in an increasingly uncertain institutional environment.
