Chan
The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University, Hong Kong
Professor
Felix T. S. Chan received his BSc Degree in Mechanical
Engineering from Brighton Polytechnic (now University), UK, and
obtained his MSc and PhD in Manufacturing Engineering from the
Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of
London, UK. Professor Chan is now working at the Department of
Industrial and Systems Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University, and also serving as Associate Dean (Research) at the
Faculty of Engineering. His current research interests are
Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Operations Management,
Distribution Coordination, Systems Modelling and Simulation, AI
Optimisation. To date, he has published 16 book chapters, over
300 refereed international journal papers and 250 peer reviewed
international conference papers, h index= 30 under the Web of
Science. He is a chartered member of the Chartered Institute of
Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong. According to a study
lately published in the International Journal of Production
Research (http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00207543.2015.1037935), the
study measured the research contributions over a 26-year time
frame (1985-2010) of academic institutions and individual
authors to the field of Operations Management (OM) based on
published articles in 11 top-rated and well-known academic OM
journals. Professor Chan was among the top 50 prolific authors
list who have made the greatest overall contribution to the
field as measured by the number of distributed and shared
articles published in the 11 designated journals. Also,
Professor Chan was Ranked No. 3 in The top 100 authors as the
most productive researchers in the field of Operations
Management over the past 10 years (2001-2010).

Prof.George Zhang
Western Washington University, USA
Professor Zhe George Zhang is a professor of Management Science in the Department of Decision Sciences at Western Washington University and a professor of Operations Management in Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University. He is also visiting professor of Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Zhang received his BS in Computer Science and MA in Economics from Nankai University, China; his MBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University; and his PhD in Operations research from the University of Waterloo. Professor Zhang has published many papers in prestigious journals such as Management Science, Operations Research, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Production and Operations Management, IIE Transactions, IEEE Transactions, Queueing Systems, Journal of Applied Probability. Co-authored with Professor Tian in 2006, he published the research monograph "Vacation Queueing Models - Theory and Applications," the first book on this particular topic (now highly cited). Professor Zhang's research interests include queueing theory and applications and stochastic models for manufacturing and service systems. The main theme of his research is to bridge the gap between theory and application, obtaining unobservable and sometimes counter-intuitive but significant/practical management insights via modeling and quantitative analysis. Currently, he is particularly interested in the quantitative and economic analysis of the congestion problems in urban/mass transportation networks, health/medical care systems, and public service systems with both customer service quality and security concerns. As an expert in data analysis and quantitative modeling, he has consulted in industry and has given research seminars and short lectures at leading universities around the world. He was invited to present plenary or keynote talks in several international conferences.Professor Zhang is the one of Editor-in-Chiefs for new journal Queueing Models and Service Management, aan associate editor of INFOR (Information Systems and Operations Research), and is on the editorial board of several international journals in Operations Research and Management Science.
