Biography

NG, Chi-Kong (Kevin) obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc., and M.Phil. degrees from the Hong Kong Baptist University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management in 2003 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), and is currently a senior lecturer there. His Ph.D. Dissertation, entitled “High Performance Continuous/Discrete Global Optimization Methods,” has been awarded the CUHK Young Scholars Dissertation Awards 2003 by CUHK and the Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis Award 2003 by the Faculty of Engineering, CUHK.

Kevin’s research interests include theoretical, computational, and practical aspects of global optimization, nonlinear integer programming, discrete time optimal control, inventory control and supply chain management. He has published articles in SIAM Journal on Optimization, Journal of Global Optimization, Computational Optimization and Applications, etc. He is a member of IEEE, INFORMS, POP, and SIAM.
