Bio

Dr. Tseng is an associate professor of Department of Industrial, Manufacturing and System Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). He received his M.S. degree in Industrial Engineering (concentration on manufacturing systems and operation research/decision sciences) from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1993 and 1995 respectively and Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Iowa in 1999. Dr. Tseng is also a Certified Manufacturing Engineer from Society of Manufacturing Engineers since 2002. Dr. Tseng is specialized remote collaborative product design, manufacturing process, data mining, knowledge management, specifically in the area of Internet Based Decision Support System (IBDSS). Over the years, he has served as principle investigators of IBDSS and Knowledge Management System (KMS) sponsored by NSF, KSEF and industry. Before joining to UTEP in 2004, he served as a faculty at the Department of Manufacturing Sciences at Western Kentucky University and a senior research fellow at the Institute of Manufacturing Technology. He has been serving as PI and Co-PI of several research projects funded by NSF, NSF-EPSCoR, KSEF, DoEd and Tyco Inc. Dr. Tseng delivered research results to many refereed journal and conference publications such as IEEE Transactions, IIE Transaction, IIE Proceedings, International Journal of Product Research, Expert Systems with Applications and Computer Standards & Interfaces (over 100 publications). He has given many technical presentations in research conferences like INFORMS, Industrial Engineering Research Conference (IERC), International Conference on Industrial Engineering Theory, Applications and Practice and World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI) Conference. Dr. Tseng is also awarded the ?Who?s Who in America? in 2005-2006.
