Professor Kuo is Associate Professor in the Department of Data and Systems Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. He earned his B.Sc. in Mathematics and M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Prior to joining HKU, he was Research Assistant Professor at the Stanley Ho Big Data Decision Analytics Research Centre at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has also held visiting positions at institutes, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley, and University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

Professor Kuo’s current research focus is on the integration of systems modeling, discrete optimization, and data engineering for solving decision-making problems in service systems, particularly in logistics, transportation, and healthcare services. He is interested in modeling problems, devising solution procedures, and using these tools to improve operations, help system design, and derive managerial insights.
