Profile:
Dr. Chung-Yee Lee is Head and Chair Professor of the Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management Department at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST). He is also the Founding and Current Director of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Institute at HKUST. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Industrial Engineers in U.S. and also a Fellow of Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Science. Before joining HKUST in 2001, he was Rockwell Chair Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Texas A&M University. He worked as a plant manager and also had few years consulting experience in Taiwan. In the past 22 years he has engaged in numerous research projects sponsored by NSF, RGC, ITF, IBM, Motorola, AT&T Paradyne, Harris Semiconductor, Northern Telecom, Martin Marietta, Hactl, and Philips Medical. He has published more than 100 papers in refereed journals. He served as the Editor for IIE Transactions on Scheduling and Logistics for four years. Currently he serves in the editorial board of several journals, including for example, Operations Research, Journal of Scheduling, IIE Transactions, Naval Research Logistics, and Production and Operations Management. He received his Bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering (1972) and a Master degree in Management Sciences (MBA Program) (1976) from National Chiao-Tung University in Taiwan. He also received a Master degree in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University in 1980 and his Ph.D. degree in Operations Research from Yale University in 1984.
