何鴻燊醫療拓展基金會敬悼李端教授

李端教授家屬禮鑒

 

乍聞李教授離世,無限驚訝、不勝悼念。

 

深知家人哀慟逾恆,尚祈節哀順變,保重身體為要。

 

我們十分榮幸,邀得李教授出任香港中文大學禤永明系統工程與工程管理學講座教授多年,校內校外同時建樹,成績斐然,尤其是在金融科技方面,創辦學系、作育英才、桃李滿門,貢獻良多;尤以領導進行澳門大學成立醫學院的經濟可行性研究,由於澳門的數據資料有限,李教授特別親往北京尋找,又協助澳大校長領隊前往美國實地考察,令人永記不忘。

 

能與李教授在多方面的SEEM研究及平台硏發工作一起同行,我們至感榮幸,他在中文大學、城市大學以至澳門大學的成就,我們無以為報,謹此再三致謝。

It is with great sorrow that I learned of the passing of Prof. Duan Li, for many years a true leader within the Hong Kong operations research community. Since my first visit to the SEEM Department of Chinese University in 1995, and including my most recent visit in 2019, it was my pleasure to meet Duan many times. On all such occasions, his keen intellect, unfailing modesty, kindness and generosity were on full display. His remarkable research productivity, including 200 top quality refereed publications, continued until the end of his outstanding career. As Department Chair of SEEM from 2003 to 2012, he built the best operations research department in Hong Kong and mentored many outstanding young scholars. To relate a small personal story, on a recent visit I asked him if he could offer some technical advice, not knowing that he was leaving for a meeting in Guangzhou the next morning; however, he kindly rearranged his schedule to spend an early morning hour with me at his office before leaving. It was my pleasure to know Duan, and he will be greatly missed.

Dear Mrs. Li and family,

 

It is with great sadness that members of the Faculty of Engineering mourn the passing of Professor Duan Li. During his years at CUHK, Professor Li made significant contributions to his Department, Faculty and the University. He will be sorely missed by his colleagues, friends and students, but his courage and positive spirit will live on. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

 

In condolences,
Martin Wong
