La Dr Isotilia Costa Melo est titulaire d'un doctorat en processus opérationnel et gestion de l'Université de Sao Paulo (USP), au Brésil (2021). Au cours de son doctorat, elle a fait des recherches sur le split-side à l'Université de Sherbrook (UoS), Québec, Canada. Elle est également titulaire d'un MBA en Digital Business axé sur l'intelligence artificielle (IA) (2023). Sa thèse portait sur la mesure de la performance des chaînes d'approvisionnement numériques (SC) à l'aide de modèles d'analyse dynamique de l'enveloppement des données (DEA). Avant de devenir membre de l'ICN Business School, elle a travaillé dans deux universités chiliennes en tant que professeure assistante, chercheuse postdoctorale et superviseure de projet MBA dans une université brésilienne et portugaise. Elle a supervisé plus de 60 projets exécutifs, la plupart liés à l'IA.
Elle a publié plus de 35 articles dans des revues à comité de lecture. Parmi les revues classées par l'ABS, elle a publié dans le « Journal of Cleaner Production », « Benchmarking : An International Journal », « Research in Transportation Economics », « Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce » et « Journal of Financial Management of Property and Construction ». Elle est actuellement rédactrice en chef adjointe de la revue « Business and Review Society ».
En ce qui concerne la méthodologie, ses principaux intérêts sont liés aux méthodologies quantitatives paramétriques et non paramétriques pour la mesure de la performance. Aussi, elle s'intéresse à l'IA et aux méthodes mixtes, intégrant la recherche qualitative et quantitative.
En ce qui concerne les applications, ses intérêts sont larges, à commencer par la logistique, les chaînes d'approvisionnement, la transformation numérique et la durabilité, mais englobent souvent l'énergie verte, les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME), les marchés financiers et l'écoblanchiment.
