BIOGRAPHY

Professor Cai received his PhD from Tsinghua University in 1988. After conducting postdoctoral researches at the University of Cambridge and the Queen's University of Belfast, UK, from 1989 to 1991, he was appointed  as Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Australia during 1991-1993. He joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 1993, holding academic positions of Lecturer (1993-1996), Senior Lecturer (1996-2000), and full Professor (2000-2014), at the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM). He served as Chairman of SEEM during 1996-2003, Head of Graduate Division of SEEM during 2009-2012, and founding Dean of General Education of Lee Woo Sing College during 2010-2014. He joined CUHK-Shenzhen in 2014 as Dean of the School of Science and Engineering (2014-17), and has been appointed as Associate Vice President since 2016, and Presidential Chair Professor since 2018. 

Professor Cai’s research interests are mainly in industrial and systems engineering, operations research, and logistics and supply chain management science. He has published over 300 papers in academic journals, books, and conferences, including more than 100 papers in leading journals, such as Operations Research, Management Science, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Naval Research Logistics, Production and Operations Management, IIE Transactions, IEEE Transactions, Transportation Science, and Transportation Research. He was the chair/co-chair for several international conferences, and a member of the organizing committee/program committee/advisory committee for numerous international conferences. He has been an editor/associate editor/editorial board member of several academic journals. He received the IEOM Award of Outstanding Professor in Logistics and Supply Chain in 2021. 

Professor Cai is a recipient of the Outstanding Young Scientist award (overseas category) from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He is Academician of the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences, Fellow of the Hong Kong Institute of Engineers, and Fellow of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA).
