Janny Leung obtained an S.B. degree in Applied Mathematics from Radcliffe College, a B.A. in Mathematics from Oxford University and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before returning to Hong Kong, she was a faculty member at Yale University and the University of Arizona.

Her main research interests are combinatorial optimisation and logistics; she has also investigated problems in supplier selection, material handling, routing and distribution planning, facility layout, production scheduling and baseball time-tabling. Her work has been published in Mathematical Programming, Management Science, Operations Research, Discrete Applied Mathematics, Transportation Science, European Journal of Operational Research and other journals. Her research has been supported by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council and the (US) National Science Foundation.

Currently, she serves on the editorial boards of Manufacturing and Service Operations Management (since 1996), IIE Transactions (since 2001), Computers & Operations Research (since 2005) and Naval Research Logistics (since 2001). She is an active member of INFORMS, having served as President of the Forum on Women in OR/MS (2002) and Chair of the Student Affairs Committee (2000-2004).
