Dr Cathy Lam received her BSc (Hons) Logistics Engineering and Management, and, PhD in Logistics Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. After graduation, she worked as a Research Associate in the same department, and she was a Visiting Lecturer for The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong.

During the years of research, over 80 international journals and conference papers were published in the areas of supply chain and logistics management, data management in supply chain, green and sustainable transportation, e-commerce logistics, as well as artificial intelligence. Among them, 35 journal papers are SCI/SSCI listed, while some of them were published in well-known journals such as “IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology”, “International Journal of Production Economics”, “International Journal of Production Research”, “Applied Soft Computing”, “Expert Systems with Application”, “Internet Research” and “Industrial Management and Data Systems”. She received the Outstanding Paper Award of Emerald Literati Network Awards for the paper “An intelligent case-based knowledge management system for quality improvement in nursing homes” in 2019. Currently, she serves as the Editorial Board Member of the International Journal of Engineering Business Management.

Dr Lam has extensive teaching experience in the subjects of management science, operations and supply chain management, enterprise information management, ERP, logistics information systems, simulation of logistics systems, and, data mining.
