Qiang (Patrick) Qiang is a Ph.D. student in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Science in the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Patrick has been selected to receive a Graduate Fellowship for the 2008-2009 Academic Year.

He received a BS in Automation Control from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China and an MS in Systems from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

From August 1997 to May 2000 he was employed by Arthur Andersen (Shanghai) Business Consulting Co., Ltd. and from June 2000 to June 2002 he worked for TRW-Shanghai. 

His research interests include e-commerce, supply chain management, and transportation networks with a particular emphasis on network performance measurement and disruption management. In 2007,  he was awarded a World Conference in Transport Research (WCTR) Student Fellowship to attend the WCTR held June 24-28, 2007 in Berkeley, California, where he presented a co-authored paper on transportation network efficiency measurement and identification of the importance of network components and vulnerability.

He was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma, the Business Honor Society in May 2008.

Patrick was
President of the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter in 2007-2008. Previously, he was Vice President of the Chapter in the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 academic years.  In 2007 and 2008, he received an Outstanding Service Award from the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter.
