Professor CHEN Minghua has been elected by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) as a 2020 Distinguished Member. ACM selected 64 Distinguished Members in 2020 to recognise their outstanding contributions to the computing field. All inductees are longstanding ACM members and were selected by their peers for a range of accomplishments that have contributed to technologies that move the computing field forward.

Prof. Chen is the only CityU faculty member and one of the only three from Hong Kong to receive this honour in 2020.|

“Minghua’s research accomplishment is well recognized by his peers internationally. His election as an ACM Distinguished member speaks well about the quality of faculty at the School of Data Science (SDSC)”, said Prof. Joe Qin, Dean of SDSC.

The ACM Distinguished Members program recognises up to 10 percent of ACM worldwide members with at least 15 years of professional experience and 5 years of Professional Membership in the last 10 years who have achieved significant accomplishments or have made a significant impact on the computing field.

The research interests of Professor CHEN include online optimisation and algorithms, energy systems, intelligent transportation systems, distributed optimisation, delay-constrained network coding, machine learning in networked and societal systems, and capitalising the benefit of data-driven prediction in algorithm/system design.
