Biography:
John C.S. Lui is currently the Choh-Ming Li Chair Professor in the
Department of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) at
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).
He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA.
After his graduation, he joined
the IBM Laboratory and participated in research and development projects on
file systems and parallel I/O architectures.
He later joined the CSE Department at CUHK.
He has been a visiting professor
in computer science departments at
UCLA, Columbia University, University of Maryland at College Park,
Purdue University, University of Massachusetts at Amherst
and Universit degli Studi di Torino in Italy.
Currently, he is leading a group of students and post-docs in the
Advanced Networking and System Research Laboratory (ANSRLab).
His current research interests are in
online learning algorithms and applications
(e.g., multi-armed bandits, reinforcement learning), quantum Internet,
machine learning on network sciences and networking systems,
large scale data analytics,
network/system security,
network economics, large scale storage systems
and performance evaluation theory.
John is an active consultant to industry, believing that it
is an effective way to do technology transfer and a wonderful way
to learn about real and relevant research problems.
John is currrently the senior editor in the
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking,
and has been serving in the editorial board of
ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems ,
IEEE Transactions on Network Science & Engineering,
IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing,
IEEE Transactions on Computers,
IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems,
Journal of Performance Evaluation,
Journal of Network Science and
International Journal of Network Security.
He is a member of the review panel in the
IEEE Koji Kobayashi Computers and Communications Award committee, and
has served at the IEEE Fellow Review Committees. John has also been a
reviewer and panel member
for NSF, Canadian Research Council and the
National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
John served the Associate Dean of Research in the College of Engineering at CUHK (2014-2018) and
the chairman of the CSE Department
(and lessons learnt)
from 2005-2011.
He received various departmental teaching awards and the
CUHK Vice-Chancellor's Exemplary Teaching Award.
John also received the CUHK Faculty of Engineering Research
Excellence Award (2011-2012).
John is a co-recipient of the best paper award in
the IFIP WG 7.3 Performance 2005,
IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2006,
SIMPLEX 2013, and ACM RecSys 2017.
He is an elected member of the IFIP WG 7.3,
Fellow of ACM, Fellow of IEEE,
Senior Research Fellow of the Croucher Foundation,
Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences (HKAES),
and was the past chair of the ACM SIGMETRICS (2011-2015).
His personal interests include films and
general reading.
