Mr. KWAN Wai Chung Cyrus, a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. WONG Kam Fai, received the outstanding paper award at ACL2024.
Professor Daniel Zhuoyu Long, along with our 4th year PhD student Yu Sun, our recent PhD graduate Bin Hu, and their collaborator, Professor Qingwei Jin from Zhejiang University, won the Second Prize in the Best Paper Award at the 16th CSAMSE Conference (International Annual Conference of the Chinese Scholars Association for Management Science and Engineering), July 13-July 15, 2024.
The title of the paper is “Distributionally Robust Discrete Choice Model and Assortment Optimization”.
COSMO 2024 is co-organized by the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Department (SEEM) and The Hong Kong Association for Computer Education (HKACE) for all high school students.The purpose of this competition is to encourage students to actively study mathematics and hence tries to improve their ability in building system model, use of mathematical method and computer technology to solve problem.
Name: IP, Wing Yan
Graduation year: 2023
Current Status: Technology Associate at Morgan Stanley
My major is Financial Technology, which is under the department of SEEM. The programme covered a broad variety of topics, from financial mathematics to information systems. It offered me ample exposure in both finance and technology, as well as the combination of these two subjects, that is, applying the latest technology in the financial world. The training in this programme has also strengthened my analytic skills and attention to details. These knowledge and skills helped me secure a job in one of the top-tier investment banks in the world, Morgan Stanley. My current role is a technology associate under the Institutional Securities Technology Department, where I am responsible for developing and optimizing the Fixed Income Risk Calculation System in the firm.
If I had a second chance, I would still choose this programme to study in my university life. It has taught me a lot and paved my professional career path.

Graduation year: 2024
Current status: Preparing to study for a master’s degree in Japan
If you want to study an engineering program but do not want to be limited to one or two fields, then SEEM is absolutely suitable for you. Here, you will not only learn algorithms and programming languages, but also gain in-depth understanding of system engineering principles and practices from multiple perspectives, including system design, data processing, development, operation, and management. In the real world, talents who are good at management and possess engineering skills are in short supply. At this point, practical knowledge of system engineering and engineering management will come in handy.
In addition, not only does the program offer a wide range of industries to work in after graduation, but the training provided by the SEEM program also offers more choices for my future studies compared to other engineering programs, such as business management, computer science, and data science.
I hope you can choose the subject you like and have a wonderful university life!
The PhD summer workshop 2024 is organized for potential applicants to CUHK Engineering PhD programmes in the 2025-2026 intake.
Mr. Lewen Zheng, a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Dohyun Ahn, won the INFORMS-Sim Best Student Paper Award at the 2023 Winter Simulation Conference, held from December 10 to 13, 2023, in San Antonio, TX, USA. The awarded paper is titled “Conditional Importance Sampling for Convex Rare-Event Sets.”
The INFORMS Simulation Society (INFORMS-Sim) sponsors the Winter Simulation Conference PhD Colloquium for PhD students within two years of graduation and awards a Best Student Paper prize among those students making a presentation at both the PhD colloquium and a regular track of the conference.
Prof. WONG Kam Fai receives the Saint Francis Prize in Techno-Humanities (2024) organized by Caritas Institute of Higher Education. Prof. Wong is selected for the Prize in the area of Language for his outstanding contribution in Natural Language Processing (NLP), promotion of Asian NLP research, and popularization of science in Hong Kong. More information about the prize can be found in the attached document.
