Biography:
Qiang (Patrick) Qiang
received his Ph.D.
in Business Administration with a concentration in Management
Science
from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst in May 2009. Patrick received a Graduate Fellowship
for the 2008-2009 Academic Year. In August 2009 he assumes the position of Assistant Professor of Operations Management at the Graduate School of Professional Studies at Pennsylvania State University Great Valley.
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, 2008, and 2009, he received an Outstanding
Service Award
from the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter.
