Biography

Zhe Liang is Full Professor of Department of Management Science in School of Economics and Management, Tongji University. His research interests are related to the design and implementation of exact and heuristic algorithms for large-scale combinatorial optimization problems in Supply Chain Management, Transportation, and Telecommunication. He has over 20 referred publications, including his papers appeared in journals such as Transportation Science, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Transportation Research Part B, etc. He has been funded by National Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Education of China, and Ministry of Science and Technology of China.

Wanpracha Art Chaovalitwongse is Professor in the Departments of Industrial & Systems Engineering and Radiology (joint) at the University of Washington, Seattle (UW).　He also serves as Associate Director of the Integrated Brain Imaging Center at UW Medical Center. His research group conducts basic computational science, applied, and translational research at the interface of engineering, medicine, and other emerging disciplines with emphasis on (a) computational neuroscience, (b) computational biology, and (c) logistics optimization. He currently serves as Area Editor, Associate Editor and Editorial Board Member of 10 leading international journals. He has edited 4 books and published over 130 research articles including 70+ journal papers.

Leyuan Shi is a Professor with the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management at Peking University. Her research is devoted to the theory and development of large-scale optimization algorithms, discrete event simulation methodology, and modeling and analysis of discrete dynamic systems, with applications to complex systems such as supply chain networks, manufacturing systems, communication networks, and financial engineering. She has published two books: Nested Partitions Method, Theory and Applications (2008), and Modeling, Control and Optimization of Complex Systems (2002). She is currently an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, and an Associate Editor of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems. Dr. Shi is a member of INFORMS, and a fellow of IEEE.
