UEA

I am a Senior Lecturer in Operations and Supply Chain Management in the Norwich Business School. I gained my PhD (with research focus on supply chain management), an MSc (with distinction) in Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management, and a bachelor degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, all from the University of Hong Kong. I also earned a bachelor degree in Economics and Management from London School of Economics and Political Science.

Prior to joining the school in 2007, I was a project leader (carrying the title of research associate) of a government funded research project entitled “An Eco-Design and Manufacturing Program for Electronic Products with reference to the Energy Using Product (EuP) Directive 2005/32/EC”, at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Before I started reading my doctoral degree, I had been working as a design and project engineer in the electronic manufacturing sector in Hong Kong.

I am a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. I am a Chartered Engineer and also a Chartered Marketer. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

My current research interests include sustainable supply chain, supply chain modelling and simulation, advanced industrial or manufacturing systems, and applications of soft computing on intelligent industrial systems and supply chains. I am also keen on research topics related to manufacturing or operations strategy like scheduling of flexible manufacturing systems, which are my early research interests.
