Hou-Duo Qi
Lecturer in Operational Research
School of Mathematics
The University of Southampton
Brief History I received B.Sc degree in
statistics from
Peking University in 1990, M.Sc degree from
Qufu Normal University in 1993 and Ph. D from
Institute of Applied Mathematics,
Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1996, both in
operational research and optimal control. I have been a postdoctoral
fellow at
State Key Laboratory of Scientific and Engineering
Computing,
Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and
University of New South Wales.
My research had been mainly supported by
Australian Research Council (ARC) (2000-2004).
In 2004, I was awarded by ARC a Queen Elizabeth II fellowship (QEII fellow). Since September 2004,
I moved to University of Southampton
to take up a lectureship in
Operational Research.
