Senior Lecturer
in Decision Sciences Tel: 0161 27 56345 (Ext: 56345) |
Yu-Wang Chen is Senior Lecturer in Decision Sciences. Prior to
his current appointment, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate, and then
appointed as a Lecturer in 2011 at the Decision and Cognitive
Sciences (DCS) research centre of Alliance Manchester Business School, The
University of Manchester, and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong
Baptist University. He received the PhD degree in Control and System
Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University
in 2008.
His research interests are
mainly in the areas of Decision and System Sciences, Operational Research and
Artificial Intelligence. He has published over 30 research articles in leading
journals, such as European Journal of Operational Research, Computers &
Operation Research, Information Sciences, Knowledge-Based Systems and IEEE
T-SMC, 4 books or book chapters and 20 publications in conference proceedings.
He has completed as PI/Co-I several research projects funded by ERC, EPSRC,
NSFC, etc.
He currently acts as Associate
Editor of the Decision Analytics Journal (Springer) and Editorial Board Member
of Web Intelligence: An International Journal and International Journal of
Productivity and Performance Management (Emerald). He is a member of EPSRC Peer
Review College, International Society of Multiple Criteria Decision Making,
EURO Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) Working Groups, and the
Chinese Automation and Computing Society in UK.
My
research interests include:
·
Multiple Criteria
