Biography

My name is Hong-Xuan HUANG. I was born in a countryside in Henan Province, China. Usually, I think that I am still a countryman except for living in Beijing and not knowing how to plant corns.

I received dual Bachelor degrees of Applied Mathematics and Automatic Control from Tsinghua University in 1990. Two years later, I received a Master degree of Computational Mathematics from the same university. In 1994, I obtained an opportunity to pursue my Philosophy degree of Management Engineering from School of Management, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA). I was lucky for receiving a Ph. D. from BUAA before I was 30 years old.

Since August in 1992, I had been working in the department of Mathematical Sciences, Tsinghua University, even though I pursued my Ph. D. during the years from 1994 to 1997. I was also lucky for meeting many friends in the city of Gainesville, which is located in Florida state of USA, while I visited the department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) and Center for Applied Optimization (CAO) in University of Florida from August, 2000 to August, 2001.

I moved to the department of Industrial Engineering (IE) from the department of mathematical sciences, Tsinghua University, in December 2004.
